Joe DiPaola Photos
Quote:
Great looking photo. I have a bunch of Joe DiPaola photos in my collection and really like his work. He took photos of a lot of guys that are hard to find in O's uniforms. Here's a few examples of Joe DiPaola photos in my collection.

At the conclusion of every season the Orioles would have a Fan Appreciation weekend and one of the things they would do is choose children randomly as they entered the ballpark to be given game used jerseys of the players (as part of a pre-game ceremony). The players placed the jerseys on the children as a photo opportunity & then took them back to play that evening's game....Once the game was over, the jersey's/Thanks Fans Undershirts were washed, signed then sent to the recipient.
In 2000, a child from the Bowie area was the lucky winner of the Cal Ripken Jr. jersey. About 5-6 years ago that child (then in his early 20's) read about my collection somewhere and reached out to me to see if I would be interested in purchasing it from him. Fortunately, we were able to work it out and I drove down to Bowie one afternoon to pick it up and spent a nice day with him and his family hearing all the stories about that evening (they kept one photograph and fortunately included the rest of the photos and the Orioles paperwork with the jersey). When I acquired it it was signed just "Cal Ripken Jr." but the next time I saw Cal I showed him the photos/paperwork, etc. and he added "2000 Game Used" underneath his original autograph....Did I mention that Cal homered that night too?...lol..Easily, one of my favorite pieces in my collection

You have some awesome items. Want to comment on “ALL” the great items you guys display, but it would become routine. I “had to” respond on this item.

Misc Photos
Wow. The year is flying by and I've really enjoyed all the contributions. Mark, thanks for getting us started. I'm going to be sad to see it come to an end. One of the few highlights of 2020.
I believe everyone deserves their 15 minutes of fame, so for the next couple days, I'm going to post photos of a few guys who played for the Orioles, that we probably would have no reason to discuss otherwise. A few of the guys played for other teams, but most had very brief major league careers. Don't feel bad if you've never heard some of these names. I'm also taking requests if there's anyone from your childhood you would like to see...

You collect those great 8X10 portrait shots. Start posting some of the players that haven’t received much Oriole love since the thread started. While these are known players I’d like to see some of the pitchers like McNally, Cuellar, Waat, Wilhelm, Miller, Barber, Pallas, Drabowsky, etc. I’d love to see them ALL really... By the way, just because the year will ultimately end doesn’t mean that you need to quit posting. Keep it rolling...

Hi, Mark. That Vancouver Mounties Photo of Brooks is amazing. I have been looking for that one, too. Interesting story about that accident Brooks had with the fence...a few years ago I met Brooks and mentioned that collision with the fence and out of nowhere he pulled up part of his shirt and showed me the scar. I was a bit shocked but enjoyed listening to his account of the slide and collision with the fence. What a guy! Thanks for sharing your picture.

Mark, the panel proof 68 sticker is amazing. I actually prefer the proof over the actual sticker. I have two graded smaller stickers and just recently picked up a raw Brooks. The larger panels are nice but the sellers want a crazy price. I would love to own one but will settle with my smaller version. Thanks for sharing!

Day 335 (November 30, 2020 – 335)
Let’s end the month of November on a high note; we’ll I guess that’s if you’re a Brooksie fan. I’ve been looking for this photo for as long as I can remember. I had a “copy” of the picture for reference (not a good one at that), but never have been able to locate an original till last year. While the photo is not in the best shape its original. It’s a Vancouver Mounties, of the Pacific Coast League, team issue photo (8x10) of Brooks Robinson. Day 335 Mounties.jpg I’m not sure if many fans, maybe not even the die-hard fans in Baltimore, know that Brooks almost ended his baseball career in Vancouver due to a freak accident while playing ball. In a game against Portland Brooks went after a foul ball near the Mounties dugout where his sleeve and part of Brooks’ muscle, under his bicep, got caught on a hook on a guardrail going for the foul ball. He was rushed to the hospital; his tendon had been severed, but thankfully the nerve was intact. Brooks was told by the doctor if the nerve had been cut, his playing days would’ve been over. 1966 Mounties Program - Brooks on inside page Day 335 Program 1966 Vancouver Mounties Program pg 1.jpg Day 335 Publication 1966 Vancouver Mounties Program 1.jpg
