RIP, Brooks Robinson.

[JimInks]

Just heard that Brooks Robinson passed away today. I was fortunate enough to spend a little time with him on three occasions including once on the radio when I did a talk show back in the 1980s, early 90s. He was a very kind and friendly gentleman who enjoyed talking baseball with anybody at anytime. I am very fortunate to have seen him play in person, too. RIP to the greatest third baseman that I ever saw.

Arguably the best 3rd baseman ever. RIP!

He was like a vacuum cleaner, gobbled up anything hit his way!

Thanks for posting this, Jim. The man surely made every right-handed hitter consider going opposite field with all their knocks. RIP!

One of my earliest "heroes", along with Eddie Murray and Jim Palmer, growing up as a "Balti-Moron".

Lovely to see the greats at work. It's like they stop time. RIP.

Rip to a great ball player and excellent person. He always took time to autograph for his fans, even up until the end.
