Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Mark70Z]

Day 258 (September 14, 2020 – 258)

Ok, I may be the only one to collect publications that really don’t, in the scheme of things, relate to Brooks, but have his picture, drawing, sometimes even his name “somewhere” on the cover (or sometime back cover; I know I have problems). Let’s look at two examples of those today.
Here’s a 1972 Boston Red Sox program with a couple of images of Brooks from the 1970 World Series on the cover. It’s possible the Red Sox needed help getting people to purchase their programs so they to added Brooks to get a few more sold.

This is a Huggins and Scott Auctions catalog from June 17, 2004. At least this auction catalog has Brooks’ picture on the front AND back. I really would like to find the photo of the four Gold Glove winners (Brooks, Belanger, Johnson and Blair); such a cool shot.
