For us non-Baltimore-area people, what exactly has the Oriole been thinkin' 'bout?

And do those bubbles imply he's been boozin' it up??

Inquiring minds wanna know.


Edited to add: I think he is drunk. Gotta be hammered to put the apostrophe between the 'k' and 'i,' instead of after the 'n.'

Just so you know the Oriole Bird does not drink...

Good evening,

I was recently able to acquire a couple more Japanese collectibles.

The first one is from 1978 and is about the All-Star Game. Brooks and Jim Palmer are on the cover:

The second is a wall calendar that features Cal and Ken Griffey Jr. Most people have probably seen the photo used on the front of the calendar from a magazine from Japan that featured it at the same time. Although the inside features MLB players, Cal is only on the cover:

I just saw where former Orioles outfielder Mike Young passed away. He played for the Orioles from 1982-1987, ending his career in 1989 after playing for three other teams. From 1984-1987, Mike was mostly an everyday player. His best season for the Orioles was in 1985, when he hit 28 HRs and drove in 81 runs.

Here's a few items to remember Mike

Team Issued 8x10 Photos

I recently purchased a small collection of Rochester Red Wings memorabilia and included was this Camera Day SGA piece from August of 1980 (measures 3.5" x 5.5" folded; that folds out to a team photo). I sent the scans to Alan to see if he had ever seen one and he shared that he had not & that it might be worthwhile sharing with the board (too bad it wasn't from 1981):




Another neat piece that was included in this collection was this:
