A NIGHT IN EAST BROOKFIELD (revisited)

This is Dick Armstrong's son, Andy, writing on his behalf as Dad is now under hospice care and unable to make any blog entries himself (I also posted the two most recent entries, writing in the first person the words Dad wanted to say about the Paul Lukas interview and Bob Golon article).

For those who saw Dad's 9/22/12 post, "A Night in East Brookfield," about his opportunity to speak at the town's event celebrating Connie Mack's 150th birthday -- and wished they could have seen and heard his presentation, well now you can! To see the video, please click here.

SABR Biography Project Profile

My good friend Bob Golon, a recently retired member of the Princeton Theological Seminary library staff, has written an article about me for the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Biography Project, wherein SABR members research and write biographical profiles of not only players but also executives and those "famous outside the game." What an honor that Bob wanted to profile me -- my family and I are deeply grateful for the many hours he spent researching my life and writing the article, which you can read in its entirety here. I hope you enjoy it!

From Connie Mack to Mr. Oriole -- a Conversation with Dick Armstrong

I was pleased to recently be interviewed by Paul Lukas of ESPN.com about my days with the Philadelphia Athletics and Baltimore Orioles. Paul has a particular interest in writing about sports teams' uniforms, logos, and mascots, and so wanted to learn more about my involvement in creating the Orioles' first logo and mascot, "Mr. Oriole."
