I
don't believe I have touched upon the player sculptures which the
Orioles are adding to their picnic area beyond the bullpens at Camden
Yards. Sculptures have been cast of several O's luminaries
including Frank Robinson and Earl Weaver.
This Saturday Night (8/11) the Orioles will be recognizing Eddie Murray and with any luck team Phungo will be there on Saturday night for the unveiling.
1988 Topps #4 Eddie Murray
Love this card. There is a bit of gimickry to the card but the nod to Murray as a switch-hitter trumps that for me. The Orioiles Orange also pops the photo.
For the Collector
The above Topps card is from the ubiquitous 1988 set, can be found in a dime box, and like any other 1987 topps card it probably isn't worth the price of the raw cardboard.
