SinceThe70s Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Didn't see him play very much - but replays of some of his highlights are indelible. Only player I can remember with the short brim on his batting helmet. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Brooks was my childhood hero and always wore #5 in our church LL and CYO. RIP Brooks, you gave us some great memories especially the 1970 WS 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 The man was virtually impossible to bunt on. He was simply tremendous. RIP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure that defensively any one player dominated a World Series like he did in 1970. And then there's 16 gold gloves. RIP. Edited September 26, 2023 by BillsVet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 I always thought he was the greatest 3B ever. These days, I’d have to look & see if that’s really the case, but if not, he sure was right up there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Flanders Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Heartbroken when I heard the news yesterday...B. Robby and F. Robby were the heroes of my youth and they're now both gone. Sad day in Birdland. Tp paraphrase a great line, in New York, they name candy bars after Reggie Jackson; in Baltimore, we name our kids after Brooks Robinson. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Brooks was the greatest third baseman. Great glove, arm and bat. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Brooks, you gave us some great memories especially the 1970 WS Not really a stat nerd but it is unbelievable to me that with all of the players having played in MLB that two of the top 4 ALL TIME dWar players in history stood right next to each other for much of their careers.

K-9 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Brooks autographed my glove at a sports banquet at the Hearthstone Manor when I was 11. He made time for everyone that night. Travel well, Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
