RIP Brooks Robinson 1937-2023

Not Mariners, I know, but it is baseball.

He's probably in my top 25 players of all time. Those Oriole teams mid 60's and 70's were good baseball to watch, well built successful teams. He was a big part of that golden era for the franchise.

Best fielding 3B that I have ever watched... and I've been watching MLB for 65 years.

RIP brother.

 

[Crizilla]

I didn't know much about him as a baseball fan I should have. RIP

A sad day. A true legend.

Got his autograph thru the mail as a teenager.
Sent an ‘78 topps record breaker baseball card thru the mail via the Orioles.
Got it back autographed in 8 days. The fastest autograph I got thru the mail.

It’s kicking around somewhere, I’ll have to find it.

Heck of a baseball player. Seemed like a great guy as well.

RIP brother.

That's what my dad said also best 3b.

But I disagree, the players playing 3b since 2000s are much better than him.

You never saw him play did you?
The man is the best that ever played the hot corner.
