Rex Barney was the PA announcer for the Baltimore Orioles from 1974 until his death in 1997. He was famous for often using the phrase "Give that fan a contract!" when a fan snared a foul ball on the fly. However, if the fan misplayed the ball, Barney would intone, "Give that fan... an error!" This was an expansion on the old radio and TV announcers' comment, "Sign him up!" He would also announce after every game, "Thank youuuuu."

This 1993 Baltimore Orioles program features Chuck Thompson on the cover and is signed in black by Rex Barney. The is a small crease in the bottom right hand corner as seen in the photo. It has also been scored in pencil. This program includes a Great Moments COA.
