Default "Bat Man"

Day 117 (April 26, 2020 – 117)

If I’m not mistaken this picture is from a home game between the Orioles and the California Angels on April 26, 1966. The picture shows Brooks on-deck with Frank Robinson in the background up to the plate and the Orioles bat boy on one knee. The batboy in the picture is Bob Scherr wearing the uniform with “BAT MAN” on the back. Bob was the Orioles batboy from 1964 to 1967 and I like how the caption relates to “BAT MAN” the current popular television show which first aired in January of 1966. Bob was also called “MAN” because he was as tall as some of the players. Just a cool picture in my view.
