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. |

230 – 18 August 2024
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. |

Thanks, Mark. It is a nice shot of a young Brooksie.

Was fortunate to find these recently. At top is a tie bar and pin from the 1984 Oriole visit to Japan. I have not seen the tie bar. Below, is a 1966 World Series Championship Cuff Links. These are really cool. Last edited by Chstrite; 08-21-2024 at 11:57 AM. |
