1977 Brooks Robinson Photo with Spalding
This photo is from 1977 I believe based on my other team issued versions but has a Spalding logo at bottom. Had not seen this before until recently picked up on eBay. I can’t imagine Brooks using anything but Rawlings recall some adds later in life with Spalding.

Quiet on the Brooks page…Big 8 Rawlings Box
Posted this on FB and thought to add here. In 1964 Rawlings marketed and sold the Big 8 Glove, which came in the below box. Not perfect, but it is 60 years old. This box is very rare. This box has been on my list for years. What I did not know, the 4 player panel comes on both sides. Like the name, there are 8 players on the box. Brooks Robinson anchors the one 4 player panel and Mickey Mantle the other one. PSA grades both the individual hand cut card and the 4 player panels. I have the Brooks Robinson panel graded and the hand cut card. Additionally, Rawlings featured the players on a larger photo to include a Brooks and Mantle variation and Boyer variation. Wanted to share a picture of this amazing box!

today marks the 48th anniversary of Brooks retiring as an active player. He was on the roster (playing infrequently) however Rick Dempsey was coming off the DL and the club needed a roster spot (the announcement was made pregame and the Metropolitan Stadium crowd gave him a standing ovation)

Sort of OT, but fits into the overall Orioles theme. I'm reading Ron Luciano's book, Strike Two, and Earl Weaver comes up a good amount.
This paragraph (starting with "But") was a basic summation of their history together, and the highlighted line made me laugh... earlweaverquoteluciano.jpg
