Day 283 – 10 October 2024
Today I am sharing a few more Oriole Pennants. These are from the 1983 WS Champion Orioles. At the bottom, the Pennant Celebrates the Orioles as the World Champions. The next one, in white Celebrates the 1983 Playoffs between the Orioles and the White Sox, listing both team players names. The middle pennant list the Orioles Players as the World Champs. The Orange Pennant celebrates the WS Champs showing our manager (Joe Altobelli)…always made me sad that Earl Weaver did not get credit for this Championship. The top Pennant is white and lists the players names celebrating the Orioles as the AL Champs and playing in the WS.

Day 284 – 11 October 2024
Almost done with the Pennants. Today I am showing a few random Pennants I have from the 1960s – 1980s. On the left are two I really like featuring the National Anthem “O” part we all participate in while attending a game with the Orioles. The other ones are from various Playoffs or the Stadium. I really like the “Why Not” 1989 pennant coming off the 1988 107 loss season.

Day 286 – 13 October 2024
For my birthday this year, my daughters set up a meet and greet with one of our newest Orioles, Jackson Holliday. Jackson and I took a picture and he signed a ball. He was very nice, handled himself like someone older, gracious, humble, bigger than I thought and looks as young in person as on TV. We met him at Jimmy’s Seafood in Baltimore. Only half of this post is Vintage…sorry!

Great photo Charlie! I'm hoping that Jackson has a bounce back season in '25.

I was at the game where he got his first MLB hit back in April and after the game the PA announcer gave me the sheet she uses to read the lineups (Holliday singled in the 7th)

Very cool, Bill. I need your connections. Thanks for sharing. I too hope he has a great 2025. We need him!

Day 287 – 14 October 2024
Today I am showing you a poster from the late 1960s or early 1970s. The poster is White with Purple and Orange sponsored by National Beer. I have not seen another copy but I do not think it is really rare. I always loved hearing “Charge” and enjoy the Orange and Purple colors.
