Picking up where Alan left off the other day, here is an exhibition game program from April 1991 where the Orioles and the Red Sox played a two game series at RFK Stadium in DC prior to the season opener:

Bill,

I love these type of programs. 1991 was actually in the middle of a string of years that the Orioles played exhibition games at RFK Stadium. Here are programs from 1988 - 1993.

Day 210 (July 28, 2020 – 210)

I enjoy looking at the Topps 1977 Orioles Team #546 with the orange jerseys. While a lot of people don’t like the orange jerseys I sure do. I wasn’t as crazy about the orange pants to go along with the jersey, but still liked the look (a little).

A 1976 B&W team photo for the 1977 Topps card. Notice the Jim Palmer cutout is placed in a different location.

Mark..I've always wondered where Jim Palmer was when they took that 1976 team photo!

Here is another Spring Training program, this one from 1989 where the Orioles played three exhibition games at the recently completed Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami (future home of the Marlins):

Bill,

You've awoken the sleeping dog. I love Orioles programs, especially unusual ones, and could post them everyday.

Here are some other Orioles spring training programs from Joe Robbie Stadium

Day 211 (July 29, 2020 – 211)

A couple of larger, and fairly common, pinbacks from 1966. The first is a GO-GO Baltimore Orioles pinback.

Below is the 1966 American League Champions pinback with the Orioles team pictured.

I don’t have a great picture of my 1966 Orioles Press Pin, but you get the idea.

Mark...Great Pins!

OTD in 2007, Cal Ripken Jr. was inducted into the HOF...I was fortunate enough to be there and it was one of the most memorable days of my life:

Mark,

Here you go. Over the years, the Orioles have played a couple games in Louisville, KY at the end of spring training.

Here's one last spring training program that took place in Mark's backyard. In 1975, the Orioles played the Braves in Jacksonville, FL.
