Thanks Mark, Really like it signed too, it Contrasts really well. And that's coming from someone who doesn't love autos on photos very often.

RIP left handed pitcher Don Hood who passed away last week......Hood was the Orioles #1 Draft Pick in 1969 & pitched in 29 game for them before being traded to Cleveland after the '74 season (along with Boog Powell)...

Bill,

Thanks for sharing. A couple team issued photos.

Good afternoon,

I was recently able to acquire some Orioles ground crew passes from 1969-1974 (the 1973 pass is laminated). Included was a pass to the 1969 ALCS and World Series.

Dick Hall, a pitcher on both the 1966 and 1970 Orioles WS Champions, passed away yesterday at 92. A few years ago he was kind enough to sign a card for me through the mail.

Mike:

Those are very cool. I don't know if the name Linda Warehime means anything to you but she was easily the most recognizable name on the Grounds Crew during that time period (1968-75).

She was well known for sweeping the bases and occasionally swatting an umpire or visiting team third base coach playfully on the rear once she completed her duties.

So cool! I don’t recall ever seeing a pass for the grounds crew AND this is extra special to have Linda Warehime‘s passes. What other grounds crew member can anyone name?!?

Got this for $9 at a local auction. Thought it was kind of cool.
