Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[ripfan008]

Good morning,

Below are photos from a stationary set featuring 16 All Stars. I'm assuming it was issued in 1963 or right after the 1962 All Star Games, since Bill Moran is included and '62 was his only year as an All Star.

It features Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron but I needed it because Jim Gentile was included as well.

Does anyone know if something similar was issued in any other year(s)?

Hey Mike

I've never seen that stationary before; so very cool!

Here are a couple Gentile items from my collection. During one visit to Cooperstown years ago, I picked up this B&W postcard of Gentile & Gus Triandos at one of the shops and they were both kind enough to sign it through the mail for me shortly thereafter.

I also picked up this child's 1960's souvenir batting helmet off eBay years ago and for whatever reason when I think of that style batting helmet, I've always thought of Gentile (I think it had something to do with the Orioles 1962 Yearbook cover):

Anyways back in 2009, the Babe Ruth/Sports Legends Museum had a thing with both Gentile & Boog Powell appearing to talk and I decided to have just Jim sign the bill of it:

Mike,

Very nice piece. I haven’t seen this stationary set before nor one from other years. Nice to have one Oriole in there surrounded by the other stars of the day.
