Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[BaltOrioles]

As promised, today I will go through the Brooks Robinson photos issued in the photo packs sold at the stadium. They are very similar to the Jay Photos, except that the team name is Orioles, instead of Baltimore Orioles, on the front.

Photo Packs were issued from 1961-1969. The variety of photos used of Brooks throughout the years is fairly small. I'm listing them all to help identify years, as they all have slight cropping differences or placement of the name.

My research shows that from around 1971-1975, the Orioles PR dept sent out photos to fans writing the team. These photos weren't sold as packs, but are similar to the others. There are different several styles. I have Mark Belanger, Paul Blair, Bobby Grich and Dave McNally in the first style, missing Don Baylor and Brooks. I have Paul Blair, Jim Palmer and Brooks in a second style and Brooks in a third style. Also, team photos from 1973 & 1974. There could be others out there.

Thanks Alan! I’ll just keep referring back to the thread if I have any questions on the different years. Thanks so much for sharing.

Day 100 (April 9, 2020 – 100)

In 1983, the year of Brooks Robinson’s induction to the Hall of Fame, ASA put out a set of 12 baseball cards called The Brooks Robinson Story. There were two different variations to the set; one set had the green borders and one set had red borders. Below are two unopened examples of the green boarder set.

Exactly how many game used items does Clint have...we may never know.

Today we have a 1985 Gary Roenicke game used home jersey. The thing that comes to mind for me is Roenicke wearing the helmet with the football style guard after he was beaned.
