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)

Sad Day
Great photo! - I remember learning of his retiring as an active player that day in 1977. As a 9 year old kid, hearing my favorite player retired made me cry. I still have several scrapbook pages filled with newspaper reports about his retirement from the next day.

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

Brooks Robinson Sports Illustrated 8 x 10 (Maybe 1964)
Has anyone ever seen this photo…Brooks Robinson Sports Illustrated 8 x 10 and appears to be 1964 based on the 1964 Team Issued Photos I have. Curious about the details. I see one on eBay of Reggie Jackson but he did not play in 1964. Perhaps they used a photo from 1964 for Brooks and this puts it in the late 1960s. Notice the different Sporrts Illustrated markings at bottom. Please let me know. Will post on FB, too.

I’ve seen the one where SI is kinda in a box, but have not seen the example where it is straight across with SI within. Guess it’s some type of promotional photo by SI, but unsure the specific year. Would think it’s around ‘64. Unsure why this photo was being used so much with a spot on the negative (on his nose). Have seen the photo without this blemish.
