Harwell was once traded from the Crackers to the Dodgers for a minor league catcher to become the manager of the Crackers in Atlanta. Thus, Ernie became the only PA announcer to be traded for a ball player.

Ironically the Orioles final opponent at Memorial Stadium in October 1991 was indeed the Tigers, so it was very fitting that Ernie was able to broadcast that game as well (I believe he worked an inning or two with Chuck Thompson as well).

Recently discovered there are two different bumper stickers with the 1961 Baltimore Orioles tag line “It can be done in ‘61!” Found this one (unframed) and when I got it home I discovered it was different. I was excited to have a second one with my collection but learned it was different. Having it framed, of course. Pretty cool. I do enjoy the vintage stickers.

Really nice bumper stickers. I hadn’t seen the first example when you first showed the example and never have seen your recent add. Both look great!

Happy Sunday! Thought to share a recent add to my Brooks and Eddie Robinson Gorsuch House Restaurant collection. I have a framed menu but picked this one up recently with a WS insert with a Michelob tag. The insert is the smaller item with the logo and the menu additions for the WS. Assuming this is 1966 WS. Show your Gorsuch House items.

I recently picked up this 1965 Minnesota Twins All-Star Game Schedule featuring Brooks fresh off his 1964 AL MVP award. It measures 21.5" x 14" and someone backed it with cardboard. It looks like it was originally meant to hang in a bar.

Man, that is so cool! “Another” piece with Brooks included that I’ve never seen before.
