Default Passing of Mike Adamson

I just heard from Bill this morning that former Orioles pitcher Mike Adamson has passed away.

Adamson pitched in 11 games for the Orioles over three seasons (1967-69). He sharied Topps & O-Pee-Chee rookie cards with Merv Rettenmund in 1969.

Here are a few additional items of Mike Adamson.


1967-1969 Team Issued Postcard and Mel Bailey Postcard

Default New Brooks Robinson postcard

I was excited to pick up what I believe to be a previously unknown team issued postcard of Brooks Robinson. A few Orioles postcard collectors and I believe it is from 1990. The Orioles printed a bunch of B&W postcards at the end of 1990 and the Robinson matches the size, format and style of those cards.

While I'm not 100% sure it's a team issue, I'm including it with my team issued postcards.

No. It is blank backed, as opposed to the color postcards that usually have a printed back.

While I’ve seen this photo and used in different formats I haven’t seen this example. Congrats on the pickup; sure looks like a team issue.

Thank you both! I love my Brooks collection, and I really enjoy seeing all the oddball Orioles memorabilia here.

Great afternoon/evening at Camden Yards yesterday as we got to see Adley Rutschman for the first time as well to see the Orioles come from behind and topple the Rays in extra innings.....

To top it off my buddy who works for the club hooked us up with former pitcher Scott Erickson postgame at Pickles Pub for some celebratory drinks:

Default 1960-1963 Orioles Scrapbook Hand Cut Baltimore News Post - Trade

Greetings. I have about 30 extra 1961 and 16 or so 1962 Orioles Baltimore News Post (BNP) scrapbook cards. The downside of my extra scrapbook cards is they are glued on a sheet of construction paper back to back. I did my best to cut around them so they can appear in a binder and you can see both sides. I tried to separate one but damaged the card. I am not interested in selling. I would prefer to trade for missing 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1963 BNP. I am short 1 for 61, 5 and 13 for 1962 and 1963, respectively. I am missing 50 for 1960.

Here is my list of shortages…send me your list if interested along with your list of extras willing to trade.

1960 - 10 on hand so missing 50 (let me know if you have any…can provide list)
1961 - missing Hal Brown
1962 - missing Cosgrove, Hall, Ward and Williams
1963 - missing Aparico, Barber, Bertania, Breechen, Brown, Etch, Hall, D. Johnson, Lau, McNally, Narum, Brooks, Starrette

Email me at charles.strite@yahoo.com if interested in trading.

Charlie Strite

I don't believe I shared this back in 2020 but what reminded me of it was the other day was the 26th anniversary of the event.

Sachio Kinugasa of the Hiroshima Karp (1965-1977) held the "world" record for most consecutive games played at 2215 & Cal was set to pass that milestone in Kansas City during a weekend series.

My buddy and I flew out to it (Kinugasa was in attendance as well) & during the record breaking game, I was able to obtain a foul ball that Chris Hoiles hit (which is a story in itself).

Another story, but post game we were fortunate to take a shuttle van back to the hotel with Kinugasa & I asked him to sign the ball...He accommodated me by signing it on the sweet spot and added 2215 underneath.

A couple years later I had Cal sign it and asked that he add "2216" underneath as well.

While I've seen baseballs signed by both, I've never seen one that was actually used in that game (as a side note Mr. Kinugasa unfortunately passed away in 2018):

Default Baltimore Orioles Stickers

Good afternoon. I think shared a post on old Oriole stickers in the past. Recently, I found one that has eluded me for a few years. Just found this week, actually...you'll see below the 19 in sticker published back in 1961 ("It can be done in 1961"). I have seen a picture with the Oriole's manager (Paul Richards) holding the sticker but never the sticker itself. I will likly frame this one. Also, you see many other stickers. I have a few others but here are the ones displayed together. I am always looking for others. If anyone has any extra collecting dust, keep me in mind. Enjoy!

I don’t check the tread as much as I should, but love some of the GU pickups you’ve acquired. I really need to get at least one item Adam Jones related one day.

Default Dwight Smith Sr

I just got a text from Bill Haelig that another ex-Oriole has died. Dwight Smith Sr passed away at age 58. He spent most of his career with the Cubs.

Dwight played 28 games and batted .311 for the Orioles in 1994.

Dwight's son, Dwight Smith Jr, also played for the Orioles in 2019-2020. I believe that along with the Ripkens and the Raines, they are the only father/son combos to wear the O's uniform at the major league level. There have been other former Orioles sons to play in the organization at the minor league level. Remind me if I'm forgetting someone.

RIP Dwight

Two more father/son sets that come to mind are:

-Bob/Terry Kennedy
-John O'Donoghue/John O'Donoghue

Interestingly, when the younger O'Donoghue made the majors I wrote him a letter asking him to sign an index card and to add Jr. to his name & when he responded he included a note that he wasn't a Jr. (I think it had something to do with their middle names or something)....
