Brooks & Cakes '66 - Baltimore Retro Campaign T-Shirt - Hyper Than Hype

Diehard Baltimore Orioles fans know that 1966 was the year everything changed on 33rd Street. Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer — "Brooksie" and "Cakes" — were the heart and soul of a team that shocked baseball by sweeping the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Brooks was already the Human Vacuum Cleaner at third base, a Gold Glove magician whose barehanded plays at Memorial Stadium left crowds speechless. Palmer was just 20 years old when he threw a complete-game shutout in Game 2 of the World Series, becoming the youngest pitcher ever to blank a team on baseball's biggest stage. That shutout kicked off an incredible 33 consecutive scoreless innings by Orioles pitchers to close out the series. Palmer earned his "Cakes" nickname that October after discovering that eating pancakes before games brought good luck — and kept eating them for the next two decades on the way to three Cy Young Awards and a Hall of Fame career. Together, Brooks and Cakes helped the Orioles win three World Series championships and six American League pennants. If you're looking for a slick, retro t-shirt to represent the Orioles and their legendary 1966 dynasty starters, you'll love this political campaign-themed throwback style tee. They have my vote, what about you?
