Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Day 96 – 6 April 2024
In the Ted Patterson. scrapbook were a number of team issued postcards and other postcards. Many of the post cards I have seen before while others I have not seen. A few pictures are provided. You’ll notice some of the post cards were written to “Ted.”

I was friends with Ted over the last 10-12 years or so of his life and was fortunate to see his collection in person on more than one occasion.....I really don't know where to begin as to how impressive it was.....

Bill, I heard his collection was amazing. The scrapbook I found is really cool. Wish I had the chance to meet him.

Day 97 – 7 April 2024
In the Patterson scrapbook I found a few interesting photographs of Brooks. The 5 x 7 inch photo featuring Brooks, Frank, Boog (with signature) along with Aparicio (with signature). I am not sure who #55 (assuming a coach) is but guess someone here will know. The team photo along the 3d base shows the Orioles and I believe this is 1969 World Series (some details are on the back but it has a bit of glue on it; not wanting to remove it. Here is a picture of Brooks at bat (on the back, it says Daryl Norenberg, Pomona, CA). Another picture shows Brooks at a podium assuming he is receiving an award…his smile! Some pretty cool photos.

Podium guy seems to be Curt Gowdy.

You may be able to read the name off of #55 Jersey with a magnifying glass on the 1969 WS photo.

#55 would be Billy Hunter.

Definitely some nice looking photos shown that are in the scrapbook. You don’t see many vintage color shots and that’s a good one.

Day 98 – 8 April 2024
One of my best finds in the Ted Patterson scrap book is a 5 x 7 inch Team Issued 1971/75 photo. You can tell this by the type, placing of his name, signature, size and Tadder as the photographer. I have been looking for this photo for years. It has some damage on the back but am happy to have found it. I am still looking for the larger 6 x 9 inch Team Issued photo from the same years.

Day 99 – 9 April 2024
In the scrapbook is other miscellaneous items. The top paper addresses less fortunate kids who need donations for transportation to the game and tickets. It was a non-profit (Baltimore Jaycees). Not sure about the one below with the young lad in a wheelchair. The other paper talks about the Orioles belonging to the citizens of Maryland along with their schedule. It is a tri-fold. The next item is a list of Oriole moments and personalities to be voted on. It must be from 1975, as it provides information from 1954 – 1975. It is affixed to the page but with some work, I could pull out. The color photo I have on a jersey night cardboard advertisement; I believe this is 21 July 1983 prior to Brooks going into the HoF.
