Best tender of the hot corner on the field.. but he was an even better human is right... he would take your heart out on the field but off the field he would give you his heart
SVP and Rich both had amazing unique Brooks stories. But I liked what Bench tweeted: “I was 0 for 4 on hits to 3rd base in the 1970 WS.” Simple yet poignant.
Dan: Who cares that you were crushed, as the Orioles beat the Reds in 5 games in the 1970 Worls Series? You never saw Eddie Matthews play either. Nevertheless, Brooks Robinson epitomized what is was to play the "Oriole Way." Brooks remains revered in Baltimore.
@@kimfulghum2922 I'm 65, watched Brooks oodles of times on the Game of the Week on NBC back in the day, and his fielding seemed almost super-human. Oh, yeah, a tremendous hitter, to boot. THE BEST, bar none!
I have a very heavy heart tonight. I grew up in Baltimore. True, we loved Brooks. My brother named his son Brooks.
I grew up in Baltimore. There was at least one Brooks in every class I was in. That's how much people loved #5.
They named candy bars for other players but only Brooks had people name their children after him.
Better than Boog. lol
Brooks Robinson was one of the all time greatest
You said the key thing... a HoF ballplayer... and an even better person.
Probably the best 3rd baseman? It's not even close Dan, best defensive 3rd baseman EVER
Ken Caminiti must be mentioned as well
Even during a death, Dan has to put it back to himself. "I was texting Bench". Never let us down....
Guy is the biggest name dropper out there. He got an ego that doesn’t quit
RIP Brooks Robinson
Ken Caminiti and Brooks Robinson the best defensive 3rd baseman EVER.
Another icon In Baltimore is Wes Unseld. 3 great leaders.

best fielder of all time.
The way Brooks was fielding and hitting that World Series, we knew we had it in the bag.

MISTER Oriole.
My maternal grandmother was a lifelong Reds fan and she hated the Orioles. She despised Boog Powell.
Boog looked like the 'Skipper' on Gilligan's Island.
@@timothy4557, He does, now that you mention it.
@@timothy4557 But unlike the Skipper, Boog could hit the ball a country mile.
Dan ,get over it. PROPERLY the best? Grow up,Dan
And I'm 61.
