The grand slam cardboard poster was published the year after McNalley's WS GS. It is not perfect and has the writing on the bottom but will look good framed. On the backside, the Oakland As hand wrote the lockerroom plan on it.

I am told the "Charge" poster is from 1966. It is a paper poster. I plan to frame it. I just love the "National Beer" advertisement and purple.

The "leap" autograph BW picture came from a long term Oriole employee. I had it authenticated. It is 8.5 x 11. Would love to had this in "orange" sharpie...I guess i settled. By far, this is one of my favorite pictures.

The final picture is a bit larger and on a "board" featuring the Ripken's with autos. It came from the same estate mentioned above. I plan to frame this one, too.

Hope you enjoy. Show your favorites.

Love the Grand Slam Action cardboard poster. Very nice pick-up.

Hi, Scott. I agree. When I frame it I will try to cover that up. So true!

I've never seen one of those before....It's very cool...Over the years the Orioles would print various different ones that I believe were given to groups to display at their place of work, church, etc. to encourage people to sign up

I know I've shown it before but here is the dugout lineup card from that historic game (this is also the game that Brooks made his iconic catch off the bat of Johnny Bench):

I've owned one of these signed prints for years and to be honest I never really noticed the guy on the right before lol.

Anyways I know the photographer that took this picture and I reached out to him to see if he knew who that guy was...He told me it was taken on Family Day in '87 and there were a lot of people on the field that day & most likely this was someone related to one of the players...

Bill, the line up card is amazing. That series was by far my favorite. Can�t get any better than Brooks and McNally. Thanks for sharing!

Good afternoon,

I just saw the news that Pete Ward passed away.

After playing 8 games for the O's in 1962, he was part of the trade that brought Luis Aparicio to Baltimore (may have been tough coming up in the Baltimore system as a third baseman at the time, obviously the Orioles tried him in the outfield).

He was also extremely friendly both times I met him.

RIP

Mike,

Thanks for sharing. Pete is another one of those guys who had a nice major league career, but is hard to find in an Orioles uniform.
