I will concede that George Brett and Mike Schmidt were better hitting third baseman, even Clete Boyer. But I never saw anyone field better than Brooks Robinson. RIP Brooks.

Best fielding third baseman I ever saw. 1970 World Series, he was on it. RIP.

RIP, Brooks. You showed us how it’s done.

He was also a great person. He was always giving his time to the community and would never consider selling his autograph. He always gave freely.

My team when I was a kid. My dad even took me to game 7 of the 1971 World Series.

RIP Brooks

A couple of my favorite paintings. Growing up, I loved watching Brooks Robinson at 3rd Base. Rest in peace, Brooks

Rest in Peace, Brooks!

Thank you for all your good citizenship over the decades.

Perhaps, this is an omen….a good omen….

‘even Clete Boyer.’

I think you mean Ken Boyer; Clete wasn’t the hitter that Brooks was...

I was born in B-more and am a lifelong O’s fan. I was 7 when he retired, so I didn’t get to see his playing years. But although I’ve always been an O’s fan, George Brett was my hero as a ballplayer. He wore #5 in tribute to his hero Brooks. I went to see Brett’s induction into Cooperstown in 1999 wearing my O’s gear.

Both men are legends and truly played the game the right way. RIP Brooksie...
