Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Here is one you don’t see very often. A 1963 Memorial Stadium Martin Family Night paper hat hand out. The hat is perforated and I guess you could wear it. The game was played on June 28, 1963. Can seem to find a scored score card or ticket. Pretty cool piece.

Very nice! Haven’t seen this example before; very unique.

Charlie,

Very cool. I've never seen that piece before. Here's the program from the game. Don't have a ticket stub.

Thanks for showing the program, Alan.

It is unique…especially if Mark and Alan hasn’t seen.

I do not have a ton of details on this desk name plate but it was used by Brooks in his home office for a number of years. It is not fancy; the paint is a little rough and so is the rest of the work. It says, “Mr. Oriole.” He signed it at the bottom with HoF 1983. It measures 11in x 3.5 in x 3 in.

Pretty COOL! I’ve seen this pictured before with some of your collection and wondered what it was.

One of the Orioles best items kids could find at Memorial Stadium or as a mail in offer was the 1973 Johnny Pro Set. The Push-Out, Stand-Up pictures including 24 different cards of Earl Weaver and the team. Brooks appeared on 2. Several players were not included due to when they signed with the Orioles. Included in this post are both of the Brooks cards. These are both part of the PSA Master Set. I upgraded the fielding card recently. The advertisement also served as the mail order form. On the front, it shows some of the cards punched out and on the back are the details about the set and how to order one for $2.00 or $2.50…anyone know the price so I can send mine in?

Today I am showing you a magazine advertisement about Brooks Robinson Sporting Goods Store. It was from a hockey magazine. I never made it to his store. The advertisement lists two addresses. One on S. Howard Street Downtown Baltimore and the other on Gorsuch Ave. (I guess his store was near his restaurant). I am always looking for an item from his sporting goods store or the clothing label. Will post more on the store in coming weeks.

I have the complete set of these card, but am still looking for the advertisement/order form if anyone has an extra to seel or trade.
