Hal,

The Baltimore across the chest and the cool looking bird on the sleeve. Beautiful jersey.

Don’t you have the same bird on your cabinet or display shelf? Looks like it’s in the background of the picture.

1954 National Bohemian tri-fold pocket schedule.

At the Orioles 60th Anniversary game against St Louis I was sitting behind the 3rd base dugout amongst several Cardinal fans. One of the Redbird fans asked the beer vendor, "what is Natty Boh"? The vendor replied, "the worst damn beer you will ever pay $8.50 for." The adventurous fan then proceeded to purchase one for him and his buddy.

Btw, the O's hit 6 home runs during the game.

Great story and nice to see some schedules posted. It's an area of my collection that I'm weak in, but some friends of mine are very passionate about. I can't believe the prices some of the early O's skeds fetch in auction.
