Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

I recently picked up this B&W signed photo of Brooks that originated from the Ted Patterson collection...

Love the '76 look with the orange panel hat:

Bill,

Nice photo. I love the orange panel hats. They don't show up that often in photos.

Most of the 1976 Orioles team issued 8x10 photos featured the white panel hats, but did find a few with the orange panel. No Brooks, but a couple of HOFers.

Old guy brain cramp. I forgot that about half of the Orioles 1976 team issued postcards included the orange panel hats, including Brooks.

Hi, everyone. Picked this up recently. Gone back and forth with some folks and can't settle on the year. I am thinking 1966. Someone else said maybe 1970. The Dodgers did not clinch too soon so maybe they could not print and distribute in time to include them or the Giants. Here is what i know:

Carling Black Label Beer / Baltimore Orioles NBC-TV Barroom Score Card paper signs measuring 9" x 29" length, includes 6 original pages (each page is on thick paper stock; the last page is on thick cardboard). The front page has some minor surface wear otherwise still in very good original condition! Not sure what year.

Please share your thoughts or provide the answer to what year this is.

I guessed at the year, but I�m not sure. I do know it looks very cool and will look great framed and on the wall.

I just got a note from Bill Haelig, that former Orioles catcher Vic Roznovsky passed away on January 18th. He was 83. It seems like we lose an Oriole every week these days.

Roznovsky was a back up catcher for the Orioles in 1966 & 1967, getting into about 40 games each year. I'm assuming he received a 1966 World Series ring.

Here's a few postcards and photos from his time with the O's.

Charlie,

Really cool item. I've never seen it before, but I'm leaning toward 1966 instead of the 70's. One strange thing I noticed was that the Orioles are listed as the visitors. Usually advertisement items like that would have the Orioles as the home team, especially since Carling had a plant in Baltimore. However, the first game of the 1966 series was in Los Angeles. O's were the visitors in game 1 of the 1970 series, also.

I'll vote with Mark. It would look nice framed and if you can verify the year, add a ticket stub or other World Series item to the display.

Hi, Alan. great input. The picture shows Baltimore in the top of the inning. The 2nd page shows Baltimore at the top again. The 3d, 4th and 5th pages show Baltimore at the bottom of the inning. the 6th and 7th page shows the Orioles at the top. NBC covered the game.

So, page 1 shows Orioles batting first so they are visiting. To your comment, game one was at Dodger Stadium on October 5, 1966. Game 2 was again at Dodger Stadium on October 6, 1966. Game 3 went to Baltimore on October 8, 1966. Game 4, Baltimore again on October 9, 1966...gosh that sounds exciting; hope i can experience that again.

Can't be 1969, as Game 1 was at Baltimore so we would be at the bottom of the inning.

Could be 1970, as Game 1 was at Cincinnati and NBC covered the game.

Can't be 1971, as Game 1 was in Baltimore. NBC covered.

Carling Brewery opened in 1961 and closed in 1975. Pinterest has some baseball and football signs with Cleveland and Pittsburg but nothing with the Orioles directly. On Pinterest when look up Carling it shows memorial stadium but nothing as far as this sign and WS sponsorship.

I have a question into the seller. Tom Spiker says he thinks it is 1966...he is a great resource.

Thanks, Alan and Mark.

Nice! The auto looks great as well. I too am a fan of the orange panel caps.
