One of my loves are items from the minor leagues. Today I highlight the 1959 Amarillo Gold Sox. The Gold Sox played in the Texas League and were the Orioles AA affiliate. They finished in 5th place with a 75-71 record. They averaged 1,098 fans per game, so you can see how hard it is to find items from those early O's minor league teams. I'm happy when I can find a program or team photo, but to find both is sweet.
The Gold Sox featured two players that would go on to contribute to the Orioles, but in very different ways. Jerry Adair (2nd row, third from left) and Cal Ripken Sr (2nd row, far left) 1959 Amarillo Gold Sox.jpg 1959 Amarillo Gold Sox 1.jpg |
