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.

Day 294 (October 20, 2020 – 294)
It’s likely well known here, by this group, but I’ll mention it anyway just in case. The 1964 Topps Venezuelan cards, and all the Venezuelan cards for that matter, were produced for the Latin American market and paralleled the regular Topps set, but were a smaller set. In 1964 the main difference from the Topps regular issue is that the backs of the Venezuela cards were black not orange in color. As you see mine is a bit rough, but a cool card just the same. 1964 Topps Venezuelan #230 Day 294 a 1964 Venz Topps front.jpg Day 294 b 1964 Venz Topps back.jpg |
