Mark...
Very nice vintage photos of Brooks....If you look closely at the Gold Glove one, it appears that Brooks isn't wearing his jersey...Appears to be a #2 behind the trophy?

Day 321 (November 16, 2020 – 321)
For November 16th I’m picturing a signed Don Wingfield postcard. I think they date these things as 1955-62 so I’ll go with that date range. This example is postmarked October 4, 1961 and as you can see the address is filled out in Brooks’ hand. Day 321 a Picture Wingfield Postcard.jpg Day 321 b Picture Wingfield Postcard back.jpg

Morton Tadder
I saw yesterday that the Orioles announced the passing of long time team photographer, Mort Tadder. Tadder served as the Orioles photographer for over 40 years. He is also known for his photos of US Presidents, the Beatles and just about anything related to the Baltimore area. A single post certainly can't do justice to all of Tadder's accomplishments.
I doubt anyone, even the smallest Orioles or Brooks Robinson collector, doesn't have some of Mort Tadder's work in their collection. He did B&W and color photos, team photos, head shots, action shots, front office personnel, celebrations, award presentations and just about anything that involved the Orioles. I know I must have 2500-3000 of his photos in my collection, not including the team issued postcards, which also used his photos. We've seen many of his photos in previous posts. My favorites are the individual player 8x10 headshots available directly from the Orioles until 1999. His work included HOFers to the most obscure players. I can't pick a favorite photo, but here are a few examples of different types.

was very sorry to learn of the passing of Mr. Tadder & sadly learned just today of the recent passing of Foster Castleman who finished a five year MLB career by playing in 98 games for the Orioles in 1958...
Here is a Crown card he signed for me sometime in the 1990's:

Thanks for the update, I hadn't heard about Foster Castleman. I don't have much of him in my collection, but here's a couple photos and a team issued postcard. Castleman, Foster 1 - Copy.jpg Castleman, Foster 2 - Copy.jpg 195759 Postcards 03 - Copy.jpg

I really appreciate this post because I didn’t know that Mort had passed away. I met Mort over 25 years ago in Baltimore along with Lillian Crowley who worked along side him; such great people. Like you said, I’m sure we all have some shots that Mort took throughout the years. I know I have at least one item to post that I received from Mort prior to year end.
