Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 135 – 15 May 2024
Another interesting item from the Zolotorow collection is a Brooks Robinson Sporting Good store bag. The bag is similar to a bag you would get at Nike if you bought a few items. It is in perfect shape. It looks just like the binder cover.

Rob, do you mean Post 3876 Johnny Pro 1973?

I think he’s talking about the 1970 team statues on the base. You can see a couple of them in my binder post. I don’t have a picture of them handy or I’d share.

Players Don Buford, Paul Blair, Boog Powell, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Elrod Hendricks, Davey Johnson, Mark Belanger, Jim Palmer, and Manager Earl Weaver

Sweet! Wish I had one of those! All things considered, including three 20-game winners, four HOF members (including Weaver), four gold-glovers, 108 victories, 1970 World Series winners, I believe this to be the best Orioles team of all-time.

I sure do wish I could find a set of those figurines somewhere. Any ideas, anybody?

These are attached to the wood base.

They do show up on eBay occasionally

This is really cool, because although seemingly everyone knows about Baltimore having four 20-game winners in 1971, I didn't realize a trio of the same hurlers accomplished the 20-games won feat just the year before in 1970.

Love stuff like this!!
