Orioles Photos
Quote:
Thanks. That makes perfect sense that they were photos from winter carnivals. I've never been close enough to Baltimore to attend any of the fanfests. I appreciate you adding to my wantlist Would it be safe to say in your opinion the 5x7 photos (white caps) are from 1988, the 5x7 photos (black caps) are from 1989 and the smaller 4x5 photos are from 1990? Do you think the 4x5 Ben McDonald with the larger Esskay logo is later than 1990 or just a variation from 1990 photos? I love the other Billy Ripken photos. I have the Luskins photo, but had never seen the second Herman's Sporting Goods photo. I also have an Adidas Scott McGregor photo. It is 6x9 and same format as the 1986 Ripken.

It’s so cool to see a Brooksie item posted that I’ve never seen before. It’s a common photo of Brooks, but a unique item just the same. Now, is that facsimile autograph even Brooks’? Never seen him sign in this manner in the past or currently. |

I was saddened to hear earlier today about the passing of Orioles long time coach (and Royals/Cubs skipper) Jim Frey....I was trying to think if I had anything unique of Frey & the best I could do was come with this picture of the '79 coaching staff (taken in Detroit). I also recall Frey often signing team signed baseballs on the sweet spot beneath Earl:

That’s sad to hear Bill. I guess Ray is the last one alive? Altobelli I think is alive too.

Orioles vs. A's
Day 107 (April 16, 2020 – 107)
I think that both photos are from the 1971 American League Championship Series game against the Oakland Athletics; one home and one away (correct me if I’m mistaken). If you’re an A’s fan I’m sure you remember that the Orioles swept the A’s in three games 😊.

Mark....Super collection of '71 ALCS Memorabilia
Clint...Loving the Frey GU stuff; where did you get that complete uniform from '79? Alan...Interesting 1966 Rochester team photo..My version was issued after the season was over. You'll note that they are introduced as the "1966 Pennant Winning Red Wings" on the front and the back has final player stats and IL standings & states "Compliments of R.T. French" (perhaps a Giveaway at a playoff game?). Here is their 1967 Team Photo (compliments of Central Trust Bank on the back). Notables include Tom Fisher, Camilo Carreon, Fred Beene, Mickey McGuire, Dave May, Curt Motton, Herm Starrette, Earl Weaver (mgr.), Bobby Floyd, Ron Stone, Gene Brabender, Ed Barnowski & Dave Leonhard. The club went 80-61 however they lost to Columbus in the playoffs: Last edited by roarfrom34; 04-16-2020 at 06:43 AM. |

Brooks Robinson autographed photos are common (which is a good thing) but here is an unique one that Brooks signed to Harry Figgie. To those who don't know who Harry was, he was the owner of the Rawlings Sporting Goods Company & this is a photo from Brooks after the '70 World Series and I believe in which Figgie gifted Brooks 977 shares of ATO/Rawlings stock (which represented his lifetime Fielding %)..Interestingly, it was Figgie who commissioned Norman Rockwell to do that famous painting of Brooks (that's why you see the Rawlings logo prominently on his glove/cleats):

I can see why you would want it back. Once I got the Frey I was hooked. I had to get an orange next remembering the 78 Harlow and 79 Bumbry Topps from my childhood. The Flinn jersey was my first orange. I’m about out of jerseys so you’re going to have to step up when I’m done.

Day 108 (April 17, 2020 – 108)
Early Orioles team issue postcard, 1957-59, of a young Brooks. I usually call this example a 1959 (why; it looks like a later photo than the other 1957-59 postcard), but I’m sure it was issued by the team for a couple of years. Also, the Post Office stamp on the signed, mailed version, has a 1959 date so…we’ll go with 1959. Day 108 a Picture 1959 Orioles Team Issue unsigned.jpg Day 108 b Picture 1959.jpg |

Rick Dempsey
Posted for Clint (ksfarmboy)
Today Clint has for us a fan favorite...a Rick Dempsey jersey. This example is a 1979 Orioles game used road jersey with noticeable use. Dempsey has always been a favorite blue collar type of catcher and brings added enjoyment to the fans whether he's singing "Old Time Rock and Roll" or playing Babe Ruth in a rain delay he was ever entertaining.

Here is what I suppose is a 1970 Rochester Red Wings team photo only because this is an actual photograph (has no names, sponsor info, etc.). The team won 64 games and notables on this team include Don Baylor, Bobby Grich, Tom Shopay, Jimmie Schaffer, Cal Ripken Sr. (mgr), Fred Beene, Frank Bertania, Enzo Hernandez, Ron Shelton, Mickey Scott & Al Severinson.

Brooks Robinson
Quote:
I will agree with you that your postcard is probably after 1957 and most likely 1958 or 59. The similar style, lack of any uncut sheets or proof otherwise, leads most postcard collectors to lump the issues from 1957-1959 together. Postmarks on the back can sometimes confirm a year or two. Here is what I believe to be the first team issued postcard of Brooks. It is postmarked in Aug 1957. It looks like Brooks was too nice to correct the printer on his middle name from the first to the second postcard. 195759 Postcard.JPG |

Rick Dempsey
Although I am too young to have seen Rick Dempsey play for the Orioles (I do remember seeing him play for the Dodgers at the end of his career), I always enjoyed the great stories people had about him and watching the videos of him sliding on the tarp during rain delays.
However, the one opportunity I had to meet Dempsey was during Orioles FanFest in 2003. When it was my turn to meet him, he turned to the table assistant and started screaming that he didn't have a cup of water on the table. He looked at her the entire time he was signing my ball. I could have been in a gorilla costume jumping up and down and he never would have noticed. It was such a disappointment. But I did get to meet Paul Blair during the same FanFest. He may still be the nicest player I ever had the opportunity to meet. I had every player sign the same ball during that day, so Rick Dempsey's and Paul Blair's signature are forever linked in my mind. (I display the Paul Blair side of the ball). |

Great Dempsey items Clint & Mike (i'm sorry your experience with him wasn't the best; I can assure you that it isn't typical)!
A few years back I won a small lot of 1986 Orioles worn mesh pre game tops (which included a Dempsey) in an auction. Coincidentally, I found a BP photo of Rick that I took myself that season. I subsequently had Rick sign his top after a game at his Camden Yards restaurant a couple years ago: Last edited by roarfrom34; 04-18-2020 at 08:14 AM. |

The only other BP top from that auction lot that I've had signed (with help from his son) was Mike Boddicker's. Anyone who has met Mike knows he's always a class act!

I’ve always liked team photos. Maybe I’m not too keen on the Topps team cards since you really can’t make out the players, but the regular team photos I’m a fan. I’m lovin’ the team photos being shown and appreciate you guys posting them for all to see; thank you!

I was worried about meeting Brooks the first time in the 80’s even though I heard about him being so nice. He was my hero growing up and if something like that happened I guarantee I wouldn’t be collecting him today. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, but it is disappointing to hear your experience with Dempsey. |

Day109 (April 18, 2020 – 109)
When I was younger, I really didn’t care for the baseball related stamps, but now I personally like stamps. In 1961 Topps inserted stamps which were around 1 38” x 1 3/16” into wax packs in panels of two. The stamps are unnumbered and pictured on brown or on green stamps. 1961 Topps Stamp panel – Brooks Robinson and John Buzhardt Day 109 1961 Topps Stamp Panel.jpg Since we’re in 1961 I’ll also include a working press pass. 1961 Orioles Working Press Pass Day 109 1961 Working Press Pass.jpg |

Orioles Photos

It's interesting that the stamp panel of Brooks also includes John Buzhardt. Buzhardt had a nice career, mainly with the Chicago White Sox. He also had stops with the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros. Finding items of John Buzhardt aren't that difficult. One of my collecting goals is to have a photo of some kind of every player to ever appear for the Orioles, but pictured in their Orioles uniform. John Buzhardt tops the list as the only player to wear an Orioles uniform that I've never seen anything with him pictured as an Oriole. He appeared briefly for the Orioles in 1967. I wish somebody on the site can please prove me wrong. For the record, here's my top five list. John Buzhardt 1967 Grady Hatton 1956 Roger Marquis 1955 Buddy Peterson 1957 Sam Jones 1964 Honorable mentions go to Wally Westlake 1955, Babe Birrer 1956 and Shane Turner 1991 Westlake and Birrer have team issued postcards that I've seen, but I only have copies of them. I have copies of photos of Hatton, Marquis and Peterson from other collections. I been lucky to find a Sam Jones and within the last 6 months finally found a photo of Shane Turner.

The 1971 Dallas Fort Worth Spurs finished the season with a 82-59 record in the Texas league (good for 2nd Place). They played in Turnpike Stadium which was retrofitted into Arlington Stadium the next year when the Rangers moved in (and subsequently played in for 20 seasons):
Here is their Team Photo with notable inclusions Mike Reinbach, Don Hood, Jesse Jefferson, Dyar Miller, Doug DeCinces, Enos Cabell, Wayne Garland, Tom Walker, Cal Ripken Sr. (MGR) & Junior Kennedy. I always loved the "Mod Squad" look of their program: Here is a nice vintage postcard of Turnpike Stadium that I had Cal Ripken Sr. sign with the year he managed there: Last edited by roarfrom34; 04-18-2020 at 07:59 AM. |

Staying in 1971, here is a Rochester Red Wings program/roster insert (from the Little World Series vs. Denver) from the first season that Joe Altobelli managed there...While Cal Sr. wasn't the manager I remember picking this program up because he is pictured on the cover from the season prior:
