Arguably the greatest 3rd baseman to play the game. One of my all-time favorites. R.I.P.

I remember watching him in the 1966 World Series. Many of the plays he made to 1st base from 3rd base foul territory were unbelievable. I really could not believe what I was seeing. Best fielding 3rd baseman ever.

I watched him live many times. I went to many Orioles games. Soft hands was his key to grabbing anything.

Not even in the discussion as the best, but he was good. I met him a couple of times though. His sister was my friends Mom. Nice guy.

The orioles were on a roll with the best infield….you mention Boog Powell now and they don’t know who the #### he is…Brooks was special!

He broke my heart as a Reds fan in WS. A gracious and humble man. Baltimore will never forget him.

Robinson spent his entire 23-year career in Baltimore, where he won two World Series and was an 18-time All-Star. A member of the Hall of Fame
