Brooks Robinson's night tonight! He was a legendary baseball player and also a Hall of Famer, more importantly a man of true of class.

He visited my Granddad in hospital in '78 shortly before he passed on, and that was a true highlight for my Granddad.

My Grandmom took me to Carrolltown mall when I was 9 years old to meet him when he was signing cards and baseballs for folks. He signed my replica Brooks Robinson card and my Grandmom said to him that she was so grateful and thankful for him for visiting my Granddad. She mentioned his name to Brooks, and he said 'oh yes I remember Wakeman' (my Granddad) - and they talked for a little while. Honestly, in reflection, Brooks couldn't possibly have remembered my Granddad, but he said that he did without pause - made my Grandmom's day, and mine as well!

Thanks Brooks!!!!!
