That's a nice Sports Illustre example. I think it's actually from 1970. Mike Cuellar was also featured the next week, on the Oct 25th issue. Unfortunately, both my copy of the Cuellar issue and the Fleetwood 8 track tape are back in Maine. If I can find any pics online, I'll post them in the future. I don't have that 1971 season ticket brochure, but love that kind of stuff. |

What was the relationship between the Robinson brothers, Brooks and Frank, like? Did they have a close friendship or was it just a basic 'business as usual' set-up?

Brooks and Frank became close friends; not only them, but their families as well.

Day 293 (October 19, 2020 – 293)
This is a small color photo of Brooks, 5”x5” in size, taken by photographer Michael Grossbardt in 1971. To me this photo captures the essence of Brooks at home at third. Day 293 a Photo 1971 Michael Grossbardt Color 5x5.jpg Today I’ll picture another photo from 1971, but this time B&W, taken by Jay Spencer. Sure, looks like Brooks is having fun snagging some grounders. Day 293 b Photo 1971 Jay Spencer Feb 25.jpg |

Asheville, NC was home to the Orioles AA affiliate from 1972-1975. The 1972 team was featured in post #1257, so I thought today would be a good day to discuss the other three years.
The 1973 and 1974 Asheville Orioles were managed by Cal Ripken Sr. The 1973 team finished 71-69 and followed up in 1974 with a record of 70-67. 1973 Asheville program 1973 Asheville Orioles.jpg 1974 Asheville program 1974 Asheville Orioles.jpg The 1975 Orioles were managed by Jimmie Schaffer and finished a disappointing 63-75. 1975 Asheville program 1975 Asheville Orioles.jpg Over that period, several future Orioles stars passed through Asheville. They included Eddie Murray, Rich Dauer, Dennis Martinez and Mike Flanagan. A few others included Bob Bailor, Larry Harlow, Dave Skaggs, and Kiko Garcia. Here are photos of a couple that played for Asheville, that you might not remember in Baltimore.
