Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 139 – 19 May 2024
The friends of the HoF receive a bear at their players induction ceremony is what I understand with this bear. The bear is a beanie baby. This particular bear is no one else but #5, Brooks Robinson. The Brooks bear is small and still in its original packaging. Saw one other one over the years. Hard to believe this one is 40 plus years old.

Day 140 – 20 May 2024
I am not exactly sure about this doll but believe it is from the 1970s. It is a basic stuffed animal and measures about 12 inches. It is in its original packaging. It says I am a little Oriole on the front and the back has the old bird logo swinging a bat.

Day 141 – 21 May 2024
Like yesterday, today’s stuffed animal is from the 1970s but have seen it is from 1979. This bird is a little rough looking. The bird has oversized shoes and the old Oriole logo on the hat. The fur is a little dated. The bird is made by Russ Berrie measuring 12 inches.

Day 141 – 22 May 2024
Thought I would show some bobbleheads. My favorite is the 3-foot Cooperstown Collection Brooks Robinson. Certainly, this one has been shown before. Bringing this one home was quite the treat. I put it in a car seat. My wife thought I lost my mind. It is by far my favorite.

She’s very observant 😎

I’ve had a couple opportunities to pick up the 3’ Brooksie over the years, but passed each time. While I really like the bobblehead and it makes for a very nice display piece, but the reason I never picked one up is that “I know” I’d ultimately break the thing…

By the way as I’ve said before you have a great looking setup in your O’s room.

Thank you, Mark!

Day 142 – 23 May 2024
For the next few days, I will show you some of my Vintage Baltimore Oriole Bobbleheads. The mini bobble heads from 1961 are very tough to find. Here, I am showing you my 1961 boy face bobblehead. This one has the ball. I still need the boy face with a bat. These are very expensive and hard to find. The two mini bird face bobbleheads (with bat and ball) are hard to find and a bit expensive but not like the boy face, which are impossible to find. These are all three in great shape and display very nice.
