Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Chstrite]

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.

Day 183- 2 July 2024
1961 had two All Star games. The first game was played on July 11th at Candlestick Park, SF, CA. The NL won the game in the 10th inning 5-4. Brooks started and went hitless again. Joining Brooks was Jackie Brandt and Hoyt Wilhelm. I am showing you the All Star pennants, ticket, program, and press pin. The other All Star game in 1961 was played on July 31st at Fenway Park in Boston. The game was ended in a tie given weather issues. Brooks started and finally got his first hit going 1 for 2. Also, this is the first year Brooks would appear on a All Star related baseball card. He had 5 assists in the two games. This one is a PSA 9 card part of his PSA Brooks Master Set. Other All Star items include are three different pennants, press pin, ticket and program.
