Might consider a Brooks Robinson, September 17, 1955 ticket stub, if one even exists. Now that would require some deep pockets!

Was good to see Cal Jr. at the ASG the other day & while I think I probably posted this during COVID, I thought perhaps I'd do so again...

It's a 2001 ASG ball signed by Cal beneath the logo, but I also added Charley Steiner from ESPN on the sweet spot with an inscription.

Some of you may recall when Cal hit that HR to lead off the third inning (in his final All Star Game), Steiner's radio call upon the swing was "Did he Do It?, Did He Do it?, He Did!" Fortunately Steiner was doing radio for the Yankees circa 2005 & a buddy of mine me got in the Press Box to see him prior to a late season Orioles/Yankees game at Camden Yards (and he was happy to accommodate my request).

I discovered today that RHP Bob Harrison whose MLB career consisted of one game each in 1955 & 1956 passed away last January at the age of 92:

Last week I showed a couple items that I recently picked up from a long time Orioles collection, but here is another piece from it.

I was so pleased when the Orioles traded for Eddie Murray mid way through the '96 season (though I wished he would have finished his career there) but here is a 1996 warm up top of his:

Anyone have this 1971 Brooks Robinson Post Card. Look carefully. Would love to buy or trade for it. The Font is Large and towards top edge below picture centered. The 1970 has small font centered and 1972 has large font centered. All three are the same picture but the font and name centering is different.

recently picked this interesting B&W glossy team photo of the 1973 Asheville Orioles (AA) managed by Cal Ripken Sr. The team went 71-69 that season and notable players included Taylor Duncan, Bob Bailor & Mike Willis:
