Similar to my post on 10 September 2024, I am showing you a sign used possibly for groups or companies buying a section of tickets for their members or employees. In turn, the group or company would write in the name of the team the tickets were for to advertise the game. The Orioles would give the sign to the group or company for internal marketing purposes. Mark Comer provided some insights (thought maybe it was displayed in ticket windows) and later Bill (roarfrom34) did as well on 11 September 2024 post 2,945, which is described above. The sign today is blank at the bottom (Orioles vs. _____) and says �See an Award Winning Show � Catch the Orioles in Action at Memorial Stadium.� This sign measures 13 in X 17 in and is made of cardboard. The players on the board and description below leads me to believe this board is from 1974 given Grich won his first Gold Glove in 1973, Bumbry was RoY in 1973, and Weaver received his first of three Manager of the Year Awards in 1973. Similar, with Blairs 6th GG, Brooks 14th GG, the Blade�s 3d GG and Palmer�s Cy Young Award. My research though falls a little short on Tommy Davis. He was not selected for the AL Outstanding DH until 1974 but he was 3rd in the batting race in 1973 with a .306 mark and placed 10th in MVP voting. I have not framed this sign yet.

That is a good one! Nice to see an item that I haven�t seen before.

Just wondering on Tommy Davis; he could be �League Leading� in a wide variety of categories, walks, errors, strike outs, hit by pitch, etc., since they didn�t specify.

Actually, Davis was indeed the #1 rated DH in 1973, hitting .293 with 83 RBI in that role (check out the cover of the '74 Media Guide)

Bill and Mark, agree. He (Davis) had a great season in 1973 at DH. That was the first year of DH.

I picked this up recently on auction. I really enjoy the Locker Room Name Tags. I have a few and they display nicely. Would love to own some older ones. Saw Jim Palmer�s in Cooperstown recently. Anyway, today I am showing you Adley Rutschman�s 2024 All Star Game name tag. It is laminated and measures 42.5 in X 3 in. Would love to find one from the Orioles locker room for Adley, Gunnar and Mounty.

Thought to share some of my other Locker Room Name Tags. I try to find unique ones by year if possible. I like the bigger named players but they are hard to find. You will see a couple Adam Jones tags on left by the baseball cards. You then see Mullis at the top. I like the ASG Ty Wigginton below Mullins. The Palmeiro one is nice. The Hays is nothing special but he was a great Oriole. I really like the 2022 Little League Classic for Wells. The Surhoff one is nice. The ones to the right are bigger and some familiar names. The two above the microwave have magnets so why not decorate the ManCave kitchen.

Really like the locker room name tags. I have ZERO, but really like how you have them displayed. I had an opportunity years ago to pick up a Brooks example, but it was just his name written in hand. I believe it was the real deal, but did pass.

Oh, wow, Mark. Sounds interesting. I have seen one of Brooks with Schlitz on it. One of the Net 54 members will likely show it. That would be cool. Thinking about putting them along the top of the wall. Really like the stars and unique ones. No vintage sadly. I do enjoy them.
