He should have been moved to 3rd base long before Mike Bordick arrived. His range was diminished and his bat speed hardly provided warning track power for too many years.

I just wish the Orioles never let Eddie Murray go...
or Earl Weaver...
or..
aw, shucks, I'll just say it:

Long live the '69 - '71 Orioles!

Full Disclosure: Aww, Brooks woulda' got that one!

That takes me back a bit. We used to sit in upper deck, section 5 (on the third base side)just to watch Brooks play. Oh, to watch Paul Blair fly across the centerfeild grass, Belanger (the Blade) chase down a seeing eye grounder deep in the hole, Singleton carefully guard the plate, Frank Robinson line one back through the box after the pitcher tried to brush him back a little and see Palmer's leg kick or Cuellar's huge slow curve.

I even saw Boog Powell steal a base one night. They just forgot about him over there on first and he took off. Much to the delight of the crowd.

The race for Rookie of the Year between Al Bumbry and Rich Coggins (sp?) What ever happened to him?

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
