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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
