Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

Day 180 - 29 June 2024
For the next 2 weeks leading up to the All Star game, I will show you some items I have collected over the years celebrating Brooks Robinson AS games along with the two years (1958 and 1993) Baltimore hosted the game. 1958 All Star Game was the first AS game in Baltimore at Memorial Stadium. The 1958 AS game had Triandos behind the plate who went 1 for 2. The AL won 4 to 3. Today, I am showing you two pennants from the AL team (both very rare and expensive), a pin back, the program, ticket and press pin.

Great looking pennants! Really like the look of those two examples. I wanted to pick up a press pin when I first started collecting, but never did; probably my favorite looking pin.

Mark, I agree on the press pin. What a beauty. One on eBay for $125 but missing back pin. Not perfect it an option.

Bill, thanks for sharing the post marked envelopes. I enjoy finding things relating to the Orioles and AS Game. I hope we host one again soon. Two in 70 years does not seem right.

Day 181 - 30 June 2024
1993 All Start Game was the second all star game in Baltimore at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Not sure why Baltimore has been shunned from hosting the mid-summer classic. We have 2 AS games in 70 years. The AL won 9 to 3. Cal Ripken (he was 0 for 3) was the starting SS and Mike Mussina was on the team but never entered the game. Today, I am showing you a few miscellaneous things, pennant, the program, press pins, coaster, ticket and Travis Fryman locker room tag.

Day 182 - 1 July 2024
In 1960, the All Star game was played twice. The first game in 1960 was on July 11th. The game was played at Municipal Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The NL defeated the AL 5-3. This was Brooks’ first AS game where he backed up Frank Malzone. Brooks was 0 for 2. Joining Brooks was Chuck Estrada. I am showing several items today including some All Star pennants, press pin, ticket and program. The second AS game was played at Yankee Stadium in NYC on July 13th. The NL won 6-0. Brooks started this game and went 0 for 1. He did not have any plays in the field. Again, I am showing the pennant, ticket, press pin and ticket.
