My sluggers were Kaline, Calavito, Mantle and Maris. There were many others but those were the first that came to mind.

I don't have any memory of him pitching. I think he was traded a lot wasn't he? Living in Lakeland from 60 - 66, I was a Tiger fan.

:cool: = Still, for a slugger to be given the ball and the mound on that stage was mind-boggling.
(He had such a strong outfield throwing arm.)

That may be the year I was there. I just remember Coach Atwell and that Kenneth Jenkins (George Jenkins son) was in a few of my classes

This thread got going because someone referred to CBN as “blade” and I responded about that being Mark Belanger’ nickname. Hence the talk about 60’s and 70’s Orioles. Rip came along later, but I agree he’s the greatest Oriole of them all. I am blessed that I got to see him play several times at Camden. Ironically like Belanger, Rip played short, but when he came up he played third.

Yeah, Bel was just before my time and Ripken broke all his records. For what ever reason, Ripken was my favorite player.

I think you chose pretty well. Class act, great player, and a superb role model.

For my 10th birthday in 1950, my Dad gave me this...
He was the Concessions manager @ Al Lang Field in St. Pete...learned a lot about the Game from those early days growing up...

I think I became baseball aware right around 1970, so the Orioles, the A's and the Big Red Machine were relevant then to me.
Brooks Robinson and Johnny Bench were my favorites...
