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).

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.

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.

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 😉

Posted for Clint (ksfarmboy). The is a 1974 Paul "Motormouth" Blair Orioles home jersey.

I loved how Blair would play so shallow and make it routine to run back to the wall to make a catch. He deserved the eight Gold Gloves for playing center field.

Thought I'd include a 1965 photo of Blair.

Written by Phil Wood, I hope this sheds some light on the O's vest jerseys.

Classic jerseys Hal, thanks for sharing. I don’t have any Orioles flannels but plan on adding a home and road one day.

Love the jerseys, especially the history behind the vests from 1969.

I have a few jerseys back in Maine, that I'll try and post pics when I get home.
