Brooks Robinson RIP

In 1973, I was stationed at Ft Meade. Tickets for GIs were $.85 general admission.

I went to about 30 - 40 games that season. Brooks Robinson was the greatest fielding 3rd baseman I ever saw. A magician.

One major reason for the Orioles pitching success

God speed Brooks

Best defensive third baseman ever IMO.

I’m a closet Orioles fan… I support this message.

Been watching mlb baseball since 1968. He’s the best defensive 3B I’ve ever seen.

Glove was RIDICULOUS.

When my son was just a kid I used to show him all the best defensive plays regardless of position….I wanted him to see what was possible.

Brooks was featured in many.

16 gold gloves is just a hint of how good he was!
