Names the Same
I know Mark loves these types of posts.
 Have you ever wondered "What's the most common name in Orioles history?" Probably not. Today I would like to explore players, to appear with the Orioles, that shared the same name. A couple that come to mind are fairly easy - Cal Ripken Jr & Cal Ripken Sr and Tim Raines Jr & Tim Raines Sr Ripkens 1 - Copy.JPG Raines, Tim Jr & Sr 1 - Copy.jpg Here are a few others you might have forgot about... Can you identify these players? (answer at the end) Dave Johnson, Davey Johnson and David Johnson Jose Bautista (the pitcher) and Jose Bautista (the outfielder) Tommy Davis (the catcher) and Tommy Davis (the DH) Alberto Castillo (the catcher) and Alberto Castillo (the pitcher) John O'Donoghue Jr and John O'Donoghue Sr Dwight Smith Jr and Dwight Smith Sr Pictures # 1-3 Davis, Tommy (C) 2 - Copy.JPG Bautista, Jose (P) 1 - Copy.jpg Johnson, Dave 1 - Copy.jpg Pictures # 4-6 Castillo, Alberto (P) 1 - Copy.jpg O'Donoghue, John Jr 1 - Copy.jpg Smith, Dwight 1 - Copy.jpg Pictures #7-9 Johnson, David.jpg Copy of Castillo, Alberto (C) 1.jpg Davis, Tommy 3 - Copy.jpg Pictures #10-12 Johnson, Davey 2 - Copy.jpgBautista, Jose (OF) 1 - Copy.jpg O'Donoghue, John Sr 3 - Copy.jpg Picture #13 Smith, Dwight Jr 1 - Copy.JPG Honorable mention goes to Mike (Texas) Smith and Mike (Mississippi) Smith, both pitchers. Unfortunately, only Texas Mike made it to the majors with the Orioles. Here's the answer key #1 Tommy Davis (the catcher) #2 Jose Bautista (the pitcher) #3 Dave Johnson #4 Alberto Castillo (the pitcher) #5 John O'Donoghue Jr #6 Dwight Smith Sr #7 David Johnson #8 Alberto Castillo (the catcher) #9 Tommy Davis (the DH) #10 Davey Johnson #11 Jose Bautista (the outfielder) #12 John O'Donoghue Sr #13 Dwight Smith Jr

Ha! Yes; I’ve learned that I really don’t know too much about about Orioles history which I “thought” I did beforehand. I’m learning, I’m learning... Last edited by Mark70Z; 10-23-2020 at 07:14 AM.

Day 297 (October 23, 2020 – 297)
I know this Japanese magazine has been pictured before, but it doesn't hurt to repeat on cool publications. Japanese Magazine – Brooks and Shigeo Nagashima Day 297 Publication 1971 Japan.jpg I didn't think I had any Japanese tickets from the Tour of Japan, but I do have ONE... Tour of Japan ticket Day 297 Ticket Japan.jpg

That’s a great shot of Brooks on that mag cover Mark! Not sure why but Palmer hasn’t got much love on this thread. Great rendition of him on that ticket.

You really came out strong with those Palmer items Alan. That newspaper poster is one of if not the best looking one of the set.

Here is a brochure I picked up sometime back in the late 70's / early 80's for Harrison's Chesapeake House featuring a picture of Brooks Robinson fishing along with a testimonial - "When I think of fishing I always head for Harrison's"

Day 298 (October 24, 2020 – 298)
Man, the 1971 Topps set is one of my favorites when they have clean black boarders. Of course, not many of mine are nice, all chipped up, but the 1971 Topps Brooks Robinson card (NO…He’s not striking out; he fouled it off) is a favorite like many of the other regular issue Brooks cards. The following is a match print photo used in the production of the ’71 card: 1971 Topps #300 Match Print Photo Day 298 1971 Topps Match Print Photo.jpg
