Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Lucas00]

1966 Martin Family Night team photo. Thinking this may be the only one known (as I don't see any posted from you all in the past) I actually haven't seen a team photo from any other year Martin Family night.

What's interesting is the back is the exact same as the front, the same image on both sides. Like it was meant to be hung up on glass or something. Two pinholes on each upper corner so maybe it was hanging somewhere at the stadium?

All the names you'd expect to see, a young Palmer, Brooks etc. It's quite large, over 8x10. Hard to make out faces on the full size scan, I may rescan just the players one day. Hope you all enjoy.

Day 251 – 8 September 2024
Another sign today but this one is from Camden Yards. This sign is made of thick plastic and was found on the back side of a Coca Cola Fountain Drink Dispenser facing customers. The sign measures 15 in X 23 in. It has the Junior Bird and says “O(s)fficial Refreshment” with a Coca Cola and the Scoreboard.

Thanks for the feedback on the Bumper Sticker sign, Bill. That makes more sense as far as “asking the attendant.”

Lucas, I have not seen the Martin Family Night Photo from 1966. I have a few of the MFN Programs/scorecards, a hat handout, and the cards from 1964. I have about 6 extra cards to include Brooks. If you want to donate the photo, keep me in mind. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Charles. Also wanted to say your daily posts are great.

Day 252 – 9 September 2024
I have a few Orioles related games. This one is from 1989 called Statis-Pro Baseball-You Are the Manager. The game includes a board, score sheets, instructions, cards and 10 packs of team playing cards from various years to include the Orioles from 1969. You can see the Oriole players at bottom of photo that includes Brooks, Frank, Palmer and a few others from the team in 1969. The cover of the box includes a photo of Brooks Robinson (top right). It looks pretty complicated. Has anyone ever played?

Day 253 – 10 September 2024
Not sure the purpose of this sign. It is from 1971 reflecting back on Dave McNally’s Grand Slam Homerun in Game 3 of the 1970 WS. The sign would look a lot better without the bottom white section (Orioles vs. Oakland handwritten). At the top it says “Best in Baseball!” Below the picture of McNally touching Homeplate being congratulated by his excited and surprised teammates it says “Grand Slam Action!” with the bird and his crown. On the reverse side the Oakland Athletics laid out the locker room in hand written form of all their players and their assigned lockers. The sign is cardboard and measures 13 in X 17 in (approximately).
