On a happy note. I just picked up another program off my list in the attempt to find programs from all the Orioles minor league affiliates 1954-present. I mentioned before how tough it is to find Stockton Ports memorabilia.
Received this nice 1970 Stockton Ports program today. While the 1969 Ports won the league championship with an 81-59 record, the 1970 team did a complete reverse finishing 54-86. The Ports averaged less than 500 fans per game their last three years as an O's affiliate. The list of future Orioles included Enos Cabell, Don Hood, Jesse Jefferson, David Johnson (1975 Pitcher), and Tim Nordbrook.
