Glad you enjoyed so far. Thanks for posting the sketch cards of Brooks; all look really nice in my view. I "think" the last one I like the best; probably because you can see more of the uni. and I like when he had the B. Robinson on the back of his jersey. Hey, would love to see your favorite Grace card or odd-ball or publication or poster or proof, etc. You get the drift; would like to see a cool Grace item. Well can I assume you're a Grace collector... |

His father called Brooks “Buddy” so if you consider that a nickname that would be first. If not in HS it was “round-man”.

Day 11 (January 11, 2020 – 011)
Today a vintage color photo (5”x7”) of Brooks and Luis “Little Louie” Aparicio. As you can see it’s lightened up over time, possibly being exposed to light or maybe just the way the color dissipates on these older photos, but I think it’s cool. Both Brooks and Luis have signed the booklet in blue pen. Luis was another great, multiple gold glove winning, shortstop for the Orioles (wasn’t too bad for the Sox as well). Day 11 a.jpg The photo below is a picture of the Orioles infield when Luis was playing for the Orioles. Pictured left to right is Brooks Robinson, Luis Aparicio, Jerry Adair and Leroy “Norm” Siebern. Day 11 b.jpg |

This is a Mark "the Blade" Belanger 1979 Baltimore road jersey. Mark's autograph is a bit tough as well and the road jersey has an auto on the back. Mark Belanger 1979 front.jpg Mark Belanger 1979 back.jpg |

I was going to post this item for one of the days this year, but with Clint's great Belanger jersey it just brings back wonderful memories of the great Oriole teams back in the day and "the Blade" was definitely one of my favorites.
This is a small handout of a Bethlehem Family Night game held on June 12, 1970 where the Orioles played the Oakland Athletics (is this just a cool shot or what). As a side note Mudcat Grant was the winning pitcher of this game at Memorial. When I think of Mudcat (great nickname by the way; anybody know where the name came from? If not, a teammate nicknamed him Mudcat because he thought he was from Mississippi). Anyway, when I think of him I think of his 1972 A's card with his mutton-chop sideburns and the great color contrast between the green A's jersey and the red on the Topps card. Mark Belanger Bethlehem Steel June 12, 1970.jpg The back of the program is very nice as well and pictures a grouping of Oriole players. Mark Belanger Bethlehem Steel June 12, 1970 back.jpg |

Thanks Mike... Hopefully I'll keep it interesting the entire year. I'm seeing it'll take a good bit of work to get this thing accomplished.

Day 12 (January 12, 2020 – 012)
Brooks’ Annual Working Pass for all the American League parks for the year 1995. I’m sure Brooks didn’t use it much, but a pretty unique item. Day 12 a.jpg Since we’re already discussing 1995, I’ll include a couple of Complimentary Admission tickets/cards to the Hall of Fame and Museum for Brooks and his wife. By the way 1995 was the induction year by the Veterans Committee of Richie Ashburn, Leon Day, William Hulbert and Vic Willis. If I’m not mistaken there was one other induction by the Baseball Writers, but his name currently slips my mind 😉 Day 12 b.jpg |

Man, I wish i was half as organized as you (I'd even take a fourth). I guess if I had a website with everything listed I wouldn't need to post something everyday since people can just go to the website and peruse. I viewed a little of both areas today and the sites are well done. I'll be checking out your odd-ball items in particular. |
