Beautifully said Roy. You've captured what so many of us feel. I don't know a time when Brooks was not part of the Orioles in one way or another. The older we become, the more we look back on influences and events that shaped our lives. I remember living and dying (still do) with the Orioles from the late 1950s onward. My dad brought me to games through the early 1960s until we moved from Maryland. Remembering Brooksie brings back so many great memories of simpler times, kinder times, and of family and friends who are no longer here. Brooks was a true hero in every sense of the word, and we, Orioles fans, are so incredibly fortunate. As Jim Palmer said, Brooks was "the best." Thank you very much Roy.
I disagree. The spotlight belonged to Rubenstein today and JA had the good taste to stay out of it.
I completely agree with the contrast you're trying to draw, however.
