Learned last night that Richie Lewis who pitched in over 200 MLB games as well as having two different brief stints (1992 & '98) with the Orioles passed away.
I recall a few years ago seeing him as a guest on the Dr. Phil show getting help with both depression & alcohol issues. Here is an index card he signed for me TTM at some point during the 90's...  Alan, just curious if he was part of any team issues?

Over the years, the Orioles have made some trades they would like to forget, but 56 years ago the Orioles made a trade that, in my opinion, might be the best in franchise history.
On Dec 9, 1965 the Orioles acquired Frank Robinson in a trade from the Cincinnati Reds. The Orioles would win their 1st World Series the next year and Frank would win the MVP and the Triple Crown. So who did the Orioles give up to get a future HOFer and franchise changer? If you said pitchers Milt Pappas and Jack Baldschun, along with Of Dick Simpson you would technically be correct. It's interesting to note that Baldschun and Simpson never unpacked their bags in Baltimore. The trade actually started a week earlier (Dec 2) when the Orioles traded Norm Siebern to the California Angels for Simpson. On Dec 6, Jack Baldschun was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies for Jackie Brandt and Darold Knowles. These two often forgotten moves, set up the trade with the Cincinnati Reds for the Orioles to receive Frank Robinson. So I guess the real answer would be that .... The Orioles traded 1965 Postcards 08 - Copy.jpg 1965 Postcards 02 - Copy.JPG 1965 Postcards 05 - Copy.jpg 1965 Postcards 07 - Copy.jpg FOR Future Hall of Famer 1966 Postcards 10 - Copy.JPG Still a pretty good deal

Roland Hemond
I just saw where former Orioles General Manager Roland Hemond passed away at age 92. Hemond served as O's GM from 1988-1995.

Great signed photo of Hemond.....I believe the only thing that I have is this original press photo of him from August of 1992, when Cal Jr. signed his contract extension:

A little late...
A little late to post this as I just saw the thread....but there were a few nice Brooks items in the Kaline Collection Heritage auctioned off last month. Since al was from Baltimore...and they are two peas in a pod as far as staying with one team their entire careers...I understand they shared a good friendship as well. Man did we lose a lot of 60's stars during COVID!

I picked up this Orioles 1980 Organization Book off eBay recently. This is the 2nd one I have now (1981 being the other) & it appears to be for in house use only (goes into much more detail than the media guide). Interestingly on the title page, it states that the book was published 08/01/80:
