60th Anniversary Event on August 8

[Moose Milligan]

This is a really nice tribute and they're doing a great job of pumping up the glory years...wonder how they're gonna handle the late 80's most of the 90's and 00's...

Oh man. Here comes Brooksie.

Someone needs to write a great Brooksie bio.

El Presidente!!!

[OFFNY]

If you all will indulge an old man for a moment. I waited 70 years, from the 1944 W.S. to beat the Cards. So I am saying my Browns/Orioles finally beat the Cards.

You're the man !!!

What a loyal fan !!!

Although, the Orioles DID beat the Cardinals one time, back in 2003, on this day:

Oddly enough, the Orioles wore these uniforms in that game:

My heart stopped when Brooks briefly tripped on the way out.

Yeah. He needs to be more careful.

Seriously, it has become very dangerous to have Old Timers games with injuries, possible heart attacks and the like. Also, appearance fees have gone up(yes, they pay these guys, and the should) and travel is hard for some of the older guys.Now just showing up is more than enough. To me personally, nothing can match the Brooks statue ceremony. The 70' Orioles reunion is second. I wish I could be there tonight, but Im going to see Paul Mccartney in LA this weekend. Another old timer who STILL hits it out of the park.

If I had that choice it would be the Orioles every day and twice on Sunday. To each his own.

Seeing Scotty Mac really makes me miss Flanny.

[OriolesandTerps]

Many this is an awesome celebration, crying a bit that Flanny isn't here for this.

[Witchy_Chick]

My first O's crush. Tippy. ❤️

[Witchy_Chick]

Is Cal there?

[Palmoripken]

I still remember where i was when i found out he died.

[Witchy_Chick]

Why not!!!!! Loved that team!!

I have to say, I didn't get to Baltimore or have an Orioles connection until 1996, but this is chocking me up a little bit. Great job. Very nostalgic. Nobody does sports history like baseball.

1996 was the first season i heavily followed. I was 9. Have every media guide since that year except 2003/4.
