Recently upgraded my 1975 Japan NST/Mr. Baseball Nagashima Stamp (#62) featuring Brooks Robinson in uniform with Earl Weaver and Nagashima. I had a PSA 3 but found this beautiful PSA 8 to match my other version but with Brooks in civilian attire and Japanese ceremonial clothing (#59). The two stamps I am showing are the highest graded. The Oriole stamps are from the visit or tour to Japan in 1971. This set is part of larger stamp set from Japan. This 288 stamp set called Mr. Baseball was issued to honor retiring Shigeo Nagashima.

Yesterday I showed you the two Brooks Robinson stamps from the 1975 Japan NST/Mr. Baseball Nagashima Stamps. The 3rd Oriole from that set is featured today with Boog Powell #56. Not a high grade but I have never seen another. |

On July 15, 1960 Brooks Robinson hit for the cycle against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park. Brooks did this in front of 43,704 fans. Brooks went 5-5 leading the Orioles almost single handedly to a 5-2 victory. Brooks singled in the first. Brooks homered with bases empty in the 3rd inning. In the 5th inning he hit another single. In the 7th, he doubled. In the 9th, Baltimore led 3-2 and Brooks came to the plate with two men on and he hit his triple scoring two batters securing the win. Brooks ended the game with 5 hits, 1 run, and 3 RBIs. Brooks had a nice hitting streak going on with 9 straight games increasing his batting average from .264 to .296. Brooks was the first Oriole to hit for the cycle. Included today is a ticket stub from Brooks’ cycle game on July 15, 1960 and what I believe would be the program for the game, which is unscored. |

I recently added some new All Star Pennants to my collection. The 1961 Green AS Pennant from Boston is a color variation; I have a blue version, too. The black 1963 AS Pennant is one that I have not seen before. The other one I have is a AL pennant from the Cleveland AS game. Finally, the Blue 1967 AS Pennant is a color variation. I have a green and purple one, too. I was fortunate to find these at the National back in July 2024. |

That is an exciting pull! Nice card/sticker of Boog just a days after his birthday, too.

Day 232 - 20 August 2024
Another addition from the National in July 2024 is a Type 1 graded photo of Brooks Robinson in the early 1960s. This photo is a Don Wingfield copy from the Sporting News. I really like the pose with the Hartzell Bird on the sleeve, the glove with #5 on it and the dark background. |
