Thanks Mike. Didn't think we'd be seeing all the great items that are being shown and I especially like learning about other items that I don't even collect, but have an interest in. Some of these pieces I didn't even know existed.

Remember that the O's played the Pirates in the '71 and '79 Series; I'm sure there is something in your great collection that relates.

Day 37 (February 6, 2020 – 037)

Since Scott (quitcrab) posted his very cool #5 shirt, still in the package, I had to picture the example I found while digging through my junk (collection). I forgot I even had this Orioles #5 shirt and I’m quite sure I had one of these when I was younger. I don’t know if I have any photo documentation, but I remember wearing all type of Oriole shirts, AND of course BALTIMORE COLTS stuff, when growing up (by the way I still do…well, I wear Ravens now). I do have my Orioles jacket “somewhere” from when I was young. Hopefully I can find the jacket and break it out before the end of the year. When playing football in my neighborhood along with my Colts shirt I’d sometimes break out and wear my authentic reproduction, game used, live-action, Baltimore Colts Raymond Berry #82 football helmet. Sadly, the helmet is long gone…

This is a late ’60’s (possibly early 70's) Orioles #5 shirt; child small (6-8).

Here’s a picture of Brooks throwing out a runner at first with a similar #5 shirt; his may have been an XL, but as you can see he took his shirt out of the original package…

Default 1959 Amarillo Gold Sox

One of my loves are items from the minor leagues. Today I highlight the 1959 Amarillo Gold Sox. The Gold Sox played in the Texas League and were the Orioles AA affiliate. They finished in 5th place with a 75-71 record. They averaged 1,098 fans per game, so you can see how hard it is to find items from those early O's minor league teams. I'm happy when I can find a program or team photo, but to find both is sweet.

The Gold Sox featured two players that would go on to contribute to the Orioles, but in very different ways. Jerry Adair (2nd row, third from left) and Cal Ripken Sr (2nd row, far left)

Alan,

Two NICE and RARE items. Thanks for sharing your passion for the Orioles including their minor league affiliates.

Bill,

That's a great looking BiCentennial Grich bat!

I was super excited when Grich started playing for the Orioles. Great defense, good hitting and just an all around great player. Wish he would have stayed, but with free agency it just didn't happen. Here's a snapshot of Grich at the park.

Scott,

AWESOME piece! Are those exhibits attached some way to the sign or are they printed on the sign in some fashion?

The 3 players are attached along with the 1 cent sign.The print outs are on a thinner card stock. I believe it is real and vintage from the era of the 1960s.
