RIP Brooks Robinson - The human vacuum cleaner
Hall of Fame 3B, Orioles legend Brooks Robinson dies at 86

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...binson-dies-86

I grew up being an Oriole fan mostly because they were a good team and on TV a lot in the late 60's early 70's. He sucked at hitting but it was fun to watch him field.

I disagree with the notion that he sucked at hitting.

You can't look at him like a modern day 3B. The Mike Schmidt and George Brett generation changed the position forever.

When Mr. Impossible was playing, there was maybe two 3B in 70 years (Eddie Mathews, Ron Santo) that had the type of career slugging stats at the position that we are accustomed to now. He was a well above-average hitter for his position when you put it into context.

The '71 Orioles produced not one, not two, but four 20-game winners - Dave McNally, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, and Pat Dobson.

Great player. RIP to another legend of my youth.

Lost twice to the Pirates in the World Series.

Graig Nettles was a superior fielder.

Yeah, historically third base was a glove position first. The amount of them in the Hall of the Fame from the pre 1970s era is shockingly tiny.

Mr. Orioles as he was known. Gonna miss him. He was supposed to throw out the first pitch this weekend to celebrate 40 years since our last World Series in 1983. I got to meet Brooks once when i was a kid, he shook my hand... one of the nicest PEOPLE ever.

That '71 team was unbelievable. Earl Weaver was a sight to behold when he came out to argue, which he did often.

On the palm of his gamer glove he would etch “E 5”.

Saw him play several times in Municipal and Royals stadium. The O’s were just a machine in those days. The Royals, in early expansion days, lost the first 16 or so games played against the Orioles.

Man, they were just a good solid club all around.
