You may recall my (millennial) son lives in Salisbury and he frequents these independent brewery type places in the area who sell/serve these...

Here is another six pack of a Cal Jr. beer that came out in 2015 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2131 game as well as another flavor (lemon) of "Puck Face."



The watering hole we hang at pre game outside of Camden Yards had this "Steady Eddie" table flag on our high top table a couple years ago and they said I could have it:



I have an empty can of the Eddie beer if you'd like one.

Bill,

I would love an Eddie can. Thanks so much. I'll message you with the address.

Day 146 (May 25, 2020 – 146)

It’s my daughter’s birthday today so I’ll post a few things from her birth year. First is The Sun newspaper celebrating the Orioles Kiddie Corp of the ‘60’s.

The Sun – April 2, 2001

Day 146 (May 25, 2020 – 146) CONTINUED...

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day.

My grandfather was in World War I and died a year before I was born so never had a change to meet him. My father would tell me some fond memories of him. His dad was gassed in the war and it damaged his lungs and health wise was never the same. My father was in World War II, in the U.S. Navy, and was on a sub chaser in the South Pacific. They received credit for sinking a submarine during the war. A number of his friends and family members were lost in the war. I know people throw the saying around, but it's true, "Freedom isn't free."

Today I'm going to post a favorite item of mine that I purchased from Scott (quitcrab) several years ago. I was going to post it earlier this year with the next item, but just couldn't find the thing. So first I'll picture a Brooks 1964 Topps Standup that I posted on Day 128.

Is that transparency from the Topps Vault? I think that is very cool!

Happy Memorial Day to All

Very nice post today Mark. Well done! You managed to wish your daughter a happy birthday, thank all that have served to give us our freedom and the posting of those beautiful Topps Stand Ups.
My father passed last year and served in the United States Coast Guard during the Korean War. He is surely missed. He loved the Orioles and scored every game while watching the TV broadcast.
I am a big fan of the Stand Ups and really enjoy finding them. Maybe one of the coolest sets Topps produced in the 1960s
If anyone is looking to unload some stand ups I am your guy !
Happy Memorial Day to all! Happy Birthday to your daughter too !
Scott

Bill,

Very nice line up card from Cal's last opening day.

Another nice alternate jersey. I'm guessing there aren't many Mike Kinnunen items floating around and it's not often I get to post his team issued photo.

Mark,

Happy birthday to your daughter and thanks to all those we remember on this Memorial Day.

Here's a few items from Cal's last spring training in 2001. Schedule, Workout Roster, Ticket Brochure and Scorecard

Alan..Thanks for the Kinnunen headshot & 2001 Spring Training items...I've always loved that program cover shot of Cal Jr.

I don't believe I've posted this before, but here is a 2001 Orioles team signed baseball:

Talmer,

Glad you were able to find the thread and enjoying it. As you see we’re all Oriole fans (including minor league affiliates) as well as baseball fans in general so please post and make yourself at home. Just a bunch of good guys in here sharing their collections.
