I am so sad about the passing of Brooks Robinson. My Dad’s favorite player, particularly after his 1964 AL MVP season.
He was my hero growing up with the greatest of Oriole teams 1965-1971. As all who have met or known him, as great a player, he was a greater human being!!
He and Frank came to my school in 1966 and Brooks introduced themselves as “brothers”. A remarkable lesson for us kids at a time of racial tensions. When my brother had CoVID, Brooks called and wished him well!! (As did Jim Palmer and John Means too)
I too have many Brooks items but I will always remember how kind and warm and generous a man he was.
Rest in peace, number 5!! God bless your family!!
