October 5th marks the 50th anniversary of the Orioles clinching American League pennant sweeping the Minnesota Twins in 3 games.
1971 Topps #197 (image swiped from comc.com)
I would normally dissetc this card and discuss the game box for the Orioles 6-1 victory, but last week I broke my arm and typing is a pain with one hand.
The busted humerus did not stop me from finishing up my O's Orange version of this card.
1971T Jim Palmer Mows em Down
i changed the classic 1971T Black Border to the Orioles other team color, added Palmer's dominating pitching line, and tagged the game date. Other modifications include making the baseball prominent and emphasizing Palmer's #22.
Box
ok I peeked at the box and Palmer's strikeout victims included future HoFs Harmon Killebrew and Rod Carew. Other notables were Tony Oliva and Phillies World Series manager Charlie Manuel.
