My next item is from 2011 HoF ceremony in Cooperstown, NY. This ceremony was for the induction of fellow Oriole Pat Gillick and Roberto Alomar along with Bert Blyleven. What I most like about this is I have matching passes for Brooks’ lovely wife Connie Robinson.

Always nice to have something that Brooks wore and to have Connie’s pass as well makes it even better.

I agree, Mark. Had to have em.

I found this a while back. This is a bright orange visor Orioles give away that says, “Glo Orioles Glo!” it is made of cardboard and 6.5 in x 9.5 in. I have a similar bumper sticker. Anyone familiar with the year and information behind this slogan?

This newspaper handout from the Sporting News celebrates the 1967 Gold Glove Awardees. It shows both the AL and NL. Brooks is featured on the top right row of players. This would be his 8th Gold Glove. Not a bad list of players (Clemente, Mays, Gibson, Yaz, fellow Oriole Blair, Kaline and Kaat). I really like the size of this fold out and the color of the Glove…Gold of course. I believe it was in the 11 Nov 67 edition.

Not Brooks, but his buddy from Key West who saved a few errant throws, Boog Powell. I was lucky to find this recently and it did not break me. 1968 Topps 3-D. The grade is authentic given a mark on the front. Does not bother me at all given how it is so rare. I use to think I would find a Brooks 3-D but probably not in the cards.

Great Powell 3D!

Here is one you don’t see very often. A 1963 Memorial Stadium Martin Family Night paper hat hand out. The hat is perforated and I guess you could wear it. The game was played on June 28, 1963. Can seem to find a scored score card or ticket. Pretty cool piece.
