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.

Day 38 (February 7, 2020 – 038)

I haven’t shown an album yet and today seems like a nice day to lay in my bed, nice and relaxed, and listen to an album on my record player. Well, I don’t have a record player anymore (of course my daughter does; if you didn’t know they are “IN”). Also, I probably wouldn’t be listening to this album, even though it’s likely interesting. Back in the day I’d be listening to Zeppelin, Rush, and maybe even some Alice Cooper (WHAT!) or many of the other albums I (my parents) purchased. By the time of 8-track and cassette tapes I was buying them myself or at least a some of them.

This album is entitled, “Brooks Robinson: Theory of Fielding” and of course has a picture of Brooks on the cover HITTING. Well, at least they used a cool shot with Brooks hitting (photo by TADDER) with it kind of exploding all around him (I’m sure you photography people would know the filter used; me, I don’t know). On the 1966 Orioles WS program a similar type shot was used. This album was from 1972 and if I would have ever listened to it, it probably talks about fielding…

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.

1959 Vancouver Mounties media guide with Brooks listed as an infielder on their roster. He started the season in Baltimore and was sent down to AAA Vancouver in May where he played in 42 games for the Mounties. During this time he hit .331 with 6 HR's and 30 RBI's before returning to Baltimore.

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.
