I hadn't seen the news about Jim Frey either. Like Bill, I don't have much for Jim Frey items except his team issued postcards and 8x10 photos. He was also included in the team publicity photos used by the media during the 70's.

Clint has another jersey of Jim Frey. This is a complete 1979 home worn full ensemble.

Day 107 (April 16, 2020 – 107)

I think that both photos are from the 1971 American League Championship Series game against the Oakland Athletics; one home and one away (correct me if I’m mistaken). If you’re an A’s fan I’m sure you remember that the Orioles swept the A’s in three games 😊.

Mark....Super collection of '71 ALCS Memorabilia

Clint...Loving the Frey GU stuff; where did you get that complete uniform from '79?

Alan...Interesting 1966 Rochester team photo..My version was issued after the season was over. You'll note that they are introduced as the "1966 Pennant Winning Red Wings" on the front and the back has final player stats and IL standings & states "Compliments of R.T. French" (perhaps a Giveaway at a playoff game?).

Here is their 1967 Team Photo (compliments of Central Trust Bank on the back). Notables include Tom Fisher, Camilo Carreon, Fred Beene, Mickey McGuire, Dave May, Curt Motton, Herm Starrette, Earl Weaver (mgr.), Bobby Floyd, Ron Stone, Gene Brabender, Ed Barnowski & Dave Leonhard.

The club went 80-61 however they lost to Columbus in the playoffs:

Brooks Robinson autographed photos are common (which is a good thing) but here is an unique one that Brooks signed to Harry Figgie. To those who don't know who Harry was, he was the owner of the Rawlings Sporting Goods Company & this is a photo from Brooks after the '70 World Series and I believe in which Figgie gifted Brooks 977 shares of ATO/Rawlings stock (which represented his lifetime Fielding %)..Interestingly, it was Figgie who commissioned Norman Rockwell to do that famous painting of Brooks (that's why you see the Rawlings logo prominently on his glove/cleats):

Bill,

Very nice picture and even nicer autograph.

Day 108 (April 17, 2020 – 108)

Early Orioles team issue postcard, 1957-59, of a young Brooks. I usually call this example a 1959 (why; it looks like a later photo than the other 1957-59 postcard), but I’m sure it was issued by the team for a couple of years. Also, the Post Office stamp on the signed, mailed version, has a 1959 date so…we’ll go with 1959.

Bill,

I love that you are more into the minor leagues stuff than I realized. I have 2 different 1967 Red Wings photos. The one you posted and this one...

Bill, it was the first game used jersey I ever bought. It was on eBay and the seller slips my mind now.

Thanks Clint...

mine was a 1980 orange alternate of Rich Dauer back in 1982, which in turn I traded for an Angels away jersey of Doug DeCinces a couple years later.

wish I had that Dauer back!

Mark,

I love it when you and Bill post items. It makes it much easier for me to decide what to post that day.

Here are a few other 1971 ALCS items
