More specifically, Oriole birds. Even more specifically, Beardy's Orioles.
I had yet to make any deals or trades with "The Bearded One" but thanks to him, I now have my first Obak Indians.
These cards are very interesting with the little tidbits of information on the back.Like, I did not know (or forgot - good possibility at my age !), that Herb Score was both, the 1954 MiLB Player of the Year and American Association MVP !
Al Rosen was the 1947 Texas League MVP.
Then there is Carlos Santana, who was named the 2009 Eastern League MVP, playing for the Eastern League Champion Akron Aeros. ( That part wasn't on the card because it just happened : http://www.akronaeros.com/cgi-bin/dist/news.cgi?id=1252084236 ).
Beardy also sent two shiny, chrome Tribesmen.Well, 1 Triber and 1 ex-Triber. Lee's an Indian on the card though, so that's OK.
How about Sandy Alomar for manager ?!!
