Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[BaltOrioles]

In the 1950's and 60's, it was common for local papers to provide scorecards to it's readers. I assume, many people used them to keep score while listening to games on the radio.

The Baltimore Sun issued two styles over the years. The first style was more like a booklet that could be used to score many games. They weren't dated, but the covers varied over time.

The second type were scorecards for individual games and included rosters on the back. They were printed from 1960-67. The covers didn't change much over the years. There were some color changes, but often the best way to determine the year are the rosters on the back. Since rosters changed during the summer, most years have a variety of backs. I posted a scan of two different 1965 backs. A friend of mine went through all of the Orioles roster moves each year and can actually give you the date range from each back.

Mark....Nice Brooksie Golf pieces

My golf related items are limited however I have been volunteering at Vi Ripken's "Diamonds in the Rough" Golf Tournament for years. This all female tournament is held annually in the Spring (canceled this year due to COVID unfortunately) for the benefit of the areas Boys & Girls Clubs.

Men volunteer as Hole Tenders and when the tournament first started we were all given name tags (like Bill R. needed one lol).
