Difficult week in the baseball world with the passing of two Hall of Famers (Seaver & Brock) and just yeterday I learned that former A.L. President Gene Budig had passed away as well.
A few years back at the Baseball HOF Gift Shop I picked up this book that Budig wrote, which featured Cal Ripken Jr. on the cover. I then sent it to Mr. Budig who graciously signed and returned it:

Minor Matters Magazine
Bill's post on Press Box newspapers reminded me of a publication I hadn't looked at in a long time.
Has anyone heard of Minor Matters? I would assume not many, since my one year 12 issue subscription turned into 8 issues quickly. In April 1995, Minor Matters published out of Stow, Ohio debuted. It was supposed to be published twice a month from April-August and monthly in September - November. It covered all of the activity within the Orioles farm system, with stats, schedules and stories about O's prospects. I found it interesting and helpful while following the affiliates, but I must have been in the minority. By the 5th issue, they changed from twice a month format to monthly and by the 8th issue in November 1995, they were done. I believe Minor Matters also did several other teams including the Indians, Reds and others. I'm not sure if those fared any better.

Alan...
I have to admit that I haven't heard of that Minor League publication... Seeing Calvin Maduro's name as a top prospect reminded me that the Orioles permitted him to attend our Golf Tournament last July (even though it was the middle of the season). He was an International Scout for them and we ate lunch afterwards & he was very high on the prospects the Orioles got from Boston in the Cashner deal...Unfortunately he was let go in the post season scouting purge and last I heard he was working for the Twins in a similar capacity. I had a 2001 game used jersey of his that he was happy to sign/inscribe:

Day 254 (September 10, 2020 – 254)
Letter sent from Brooks talking about a photograph taken of him during Game 3 of the 1970 World Series telling how he’d like to share it with his fans. Also shares that he would enjoy personally autographing the photo. Day 254 a Brooks pic 1.jpg The 1982 uncropped photo by Tadder used for the Brooks letter showing more of his awards wall in his home. Day 254 b Brooks pic 2.jpg Finally, we have the 16 x 20 photograph that’s talked about in the letter. Just a great shot of Brooks hitting in Memorial Stadium with Bench catching.

2003 Ottawa Lynx
In 2003, the Orioles moved their AAA affiliate from Rochester, NY across the border to Ottawa, Canada. The Ottawa Lynx would would be affiliated with the Orioles from 2003-2006. As I mentioned in post #2110, Ottawa was one of the tougher franchises to deal with through the mail. I never did get to a game there.
The 2003 Lynx had a pretty good season finishing 79-65, losing to Pawtucket in the playoffs. Being a AAA team, plenty of players bounced back and forth to the Orioles. I counted over 20 players that played for the Orioles at some point. The biggest names on the roster were Brian Roberts and Larry Bigbie. The Lynx issued four programs that year, but I only have two of them 2003 Ottawa Lynx #1.jpg 2003 Ottawa Lynx #3.jpg Here's a few Lynx you probably forgot were Orioles....
