On this day in 1958 the Orioles hosted the All-Star Game in Memorial Stadium. While I don’t have many pennants here’s two from the All-Star Game. The American League came out on top 4-3 after a great performance by left-hander Billy O’Dell put away nine straight National Leaguers to save the victory for the American League. Gus Triandos was the only other Oriole on the All-Star roster in 1958.

Brooks Robinson didn’t make the All-Star Game until 1960 so I’ll picture his 1958 Jays Publishing 5X7 photo which coincides with the same year as the ’58 AS game played at Memorial Stadium.

Mark,
Nice looking pennants.
That 1958 Brooks Robinson Jay's photo was short printed and very tough to find. There were two different Orioles photo packs in 1958 and Brooks was only included in one of them.
My wife drew the line at naming one of our sons Brooks, but did allow me to name our first cat Brooks.
Over the years, we also had pets named Cal and Brady. In Maine, everyone just assumes it was after Tom Brady.
