Description

Commemorate the Baltimore Orioles inaugural season, when you claim this 1954 Orioles team-signed yearbook. After a half-century of futility, the St. Louis Browns rebranded as the Baltimore Orioles in 1954. It took twelve years, but the relocation began paying off when the O's won the franchise's first World Series championship in 1966. Look back to the first squad to capture the attention of Baltimore fans, with this attractive program Vg+. Located throughout are (27) firm signatures, including some seriously tough examples from long-deceased stars, with:

Keys: Jimmie Dykes (manager, d.1976), Clint Courtney (d.1975), Billy Hunter, Don Larsen, Vern Stephens (d.1968), Bob Turley, Vic Wertz (d.1983), Chico Garcia, Howie Fox (d.1955), Eddie Waitkus (d.1972), Sam Maele, Duane Pillette, Les Moss.

Balance: Frank Skaff (coach), Tom Oliver (coach), Harry Brecheen (coach), Mike Blyzka, Gil Coan, Joe Coleman, Lou Kretlow, Dick Kryhoski, Marlin Stuart, Bobby Young, Chuck Diering, Jay Heard, Jim Fridley, Ray Murray.
