Name the Oriole

That first pic is indeed Bob Johnson, a decent utility player for the O's and other clubs.

Next Oriole:

**soberdennis** · 07-11-2006, 11:24 PM

No. 41 is Billy O'Dell.

**DODGER DEB** · 07-12-2006, 05:08 AM

That, I do believe, is BARRY SHETRONE!

Rick Dempsey is correct Troy! He looks strange without the moustache.

It is Barry Shetrone - another "can't miss" kid who missed.

That is Dave. I thought he was going to become a top-flight pitcher at one time. He had a couple of decent seasons as a part-time starter/reliever (1968-69), but never made it big and didn't stick around too long.

The 1966 Card sure looks like Vic Roznovsky after he was shipped to the Orioles from the Cubs.

**JohnGelnarFan** · 07-13-2006, 05:54 PM

That's good Iron Jaw.

I didn't think anyone remembered Vic!

The player was an excellent infielder for a few years with the O's.

Is it Bob Bonner?

Not Bob.

The pictured player replaced this guy in the Oriole lineup:

**soberdennis** · 07-15-2006, 05:32 PM

The Angel is Doug Decinces, who replaced another O's Infieler Somebody heard of.

**JohnGelnarFan** · 07-15-2006, 05:44 PM

Rich Dauer? If it is,his long hair fooled me. The Angel pictured is actually Bobby Grich,SD

It is a young Rich Dauer. And the Angel pictured is Bobby Grich - I suppose, with the mustache he bears somewhat of a resemblence to Doug DeCinces.

Bobby Grich played for the O's from 1970-76. He departed to California for "mo money" in 1977 and the O's brought up Rich Dauer to play second - who initally platooned with Billy Smith (who came over from the Angels).

Of course, that is Robin Roberts, who had 3 1/2 years as a starting pitcher for the Orioles after his great career with the Phillies.

The one and only Earl Williams.

Earl it is. Prior to the 1973 season, the Orioles traded Davey Johnson, Roric Harrison, Pat Dobson and Johnny Oates to the Braves for Williams and minor leaguer, Taylor Duncan. Weaver wanted Earl's power in the Oriole lineup and was counting on him to be the full-time catcher. The problem was, Earl wasn't a particularly effective receiver.

Earl belted 22 homeruns for the O's that season - but Davey Johnson, who only hit five HRs for the O's in 1972, knocked 43 (a record for second basemen) out of the park for the Braves in 1973, though Johnson would never again acheive anything close to that (even in Japan). Earl showed tremendous potential as a hitter during his first two seasons with the Braves (Rookie of the Year, 1971), but his bat continued to fade the rest of his career.
