Alan,

It’s so cool to see a Brooksie item posted that I’ve never seen before. It’s a common photo of Brooks, but a unique item just the same. Now, is that facsimile autograph even Brooks’? Never seen him sign in this manner in the past or currently.

I was saddened to hear earlier today about the passing of Orioles long time coach (and Royals/Cubs skipper) Jim Frey....I was trying to think if I had anything unique of Frey & the best I could do was come with this picture of the '79 coaching staff (taken in Detroit). I also recall Frey often signing team signed baseballs on the sweet spot beneath Earl:

That’s sad to hear Bill. I guess Ray is the last one alive? Altobelli I think is alive too.

Yep Clint, that's the sad truth (though I've heard that Altobelli isn't doing well)

Altobelli always seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I hope he’s doing ok.

Sad news about Jim Frey. Thanks for letting us now Bill; I didn't hear about his passing until you mentioned it here.

Clint has a nice 1972 Orioles road jersey worn by Jim.
