Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

Very cool. I have one more. I would love to know more about the athletes they feature.

237 – 25 August 2024
Today, I am showing you a program similar to yesterday. This one is from January 25, 1972 and features Joe Torre as the MVP and Jim Palmer. Also featured is Greg Luzinski. I really enjoy the shape of the program and the last page with various photos of the sites and people around Baltimore with the WS Win. Love the Large Flagtown U.S.A. sign.

On 22 May 2013 the Orioles played the Yankees at Camden Yards. Nick Markakis The Orioles won the game 6-3. Nick Markakis hit career homerun 121 and RBI 572. I was fortunate to find this game worn jersey, HR ball and lineup card. A lot of familiar names in the lineup to include Machado, Wieters, Hardy, Jones and Davis. The jersey is adorn with the Maryland and Weaver #4 patch. It has a lot of dirt on it but guess best not to clean.

Very Cool! I’ve always liked Markakis; I’d leave the jersey as is.

Mark, Markakis was one of my favorite Orioles for a few years. He was a great player.

Day 239 – 27 August 2024
I recently was looking at my advertisements and found this one featuring who I think is Brooks Robinson from 1972 (see bottom left). The advertisement is from Kraft featuring their candy with an offering for MLB and NHL team patches. The patch is 2 inches. For a dollar and 2 empty candy bags you would receive 5 patches. You could also get a jacket for $4.50.

Day 240 – 28 August 2024
This All Star Photo I believe is from 1971 based on Munson (#15) and Lolich (Detroit) in the photo. Brooks Robinson and Harmon Killebrew are also in the photo. I am not sure who the Red Sox player in the middle is but am thinking it is Luis Aparicio. Could be the Red Sox pitcher Siebert. Anyway, this is a very nice photo of two HoF (Brooks and Harmon) and two pretty good players (Munson and Lolich). If that is Aparicio, he was an amazing HoF player, too. Back to the photo, it looks like everyone is following Brooks (ha!). It looks like the game ended with the AL winning and everyone is congratulating Lolich as the pitcher winning the game.
