Name This Oriole - 60s Era?

[NashLumber]

Having trouble with this one. A friend saw this today and sent this with the following message.

"Thought of you, Jefferson. Seen on the wall of this sports bar in the middle of nowhere 40 miles west of Madison"

Obviously, the angle of the shot makes for a distorted and funny pic. Looks like an alien in an O's cap.

That's Clint Courtney.

That's Clint Courtney.

Here he is with the glove Paul Richards had made for catching Hoyt Wilhelm.

That's Clint Courtney.

Thanks! I didn't have much to go on. Thought someone here may know.

Hope I was right!

Unfortunately, you're not. Courtney last played for the O's in 1961, and the cartoon bird wasn't worn before 1966.

To narrow it down, it was an Oriole who played between '66-'72

Johnny Olson, tell Weams and Roy what they've won. .

I just like the name "Brabender". Never seen it before or since.

Sounds like a name from Animal House.

Is it pronounced Bray-bender or Bra-bender (as in brassiere)?

Sure looks like it.

He looks like a nerdy version of Matt Wieters.
