Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Thanks for sharing the Proof. Had not seen before. I guess this would be the final product.

Day 138 – 18 May 2024
Today I am showing my 3 Cooperstown Bears of Brooks Robinson. These are not too expensive but can be hard to find. The one on the left is celebrating Brooks 1964 MVP season. I really enjoy the uniform. The middle bear is celebrating the 1966 WS. I am not sure if the glove was part of the package but enjoy it either way. The one on the right is celebrating the 1971 season and has a bat. I think the orange jersey looks especially nice.

Day 139 – 19 May 2024
The friends of the HoF receive a bear at their players induction ceremony is what I understand with this bear. The bear is a beanie baby. This particular bear is no one else but #5, Brooks Robinson. The Brooks bear is small and still in its original packaging. Saw one other one over the years. Hard to believe this one is 40 plus years old.

Day 140 – 20 May 2024
I am not exactly sure about this doll but believe it is from the 1970s. It is a basic stuffed animal and measures about 12 inches. It is in its original packaging. It says I am a little Oriole on the front and the back has the old bird logo swinging a bat.

Day 141 – 21 May 2024
Like yesterday, today’s stuffed animal is from the 1970s but have seen it is from 1979. This bird is a little rough looking. The bird has oversized shoes and the old Oriole logo on the hat. The fur is a little dated. The bird is made by Russ Berrie measuring 12 inches.

Day 141 – 22 May 2024
Thought I would show some bobbleheads. My favorite is the 3-foot Cooperstown Collection Brooks Robinson. Certainly, this one has been shown before. Bringing this one home was quite the treat. I put it in a car seat. My wife thought I lost my mind. It is by far my favorite.

She’s very observant 😎

I’ve had a couple opportunities to pick up the 3’ Brooksie over the years, but passed each time. While I really like the bobblehead and it makes for a very nice display piece, but the reason I never picked one up is that “I know” I’d ultimately break the thing…

By the way as I’ve said before you have a great looking setup in your O’s room.
