The world needs more heroes like Brooks. He carried himself with humble dignity.

[@hisoverlorduponhigh90]

My Dad used to take us boys out to Memorial Stadium, in the 60's. We loved Brooks. My brother named his son, Brooks.

[@tommyebunn5121]

Not just winning 4 straight over the Dodgers in 1966, but to hold them to only 2 runs total! That's just as amazing

[@towsonmoma875]

That was such an exciting year. My dad took me to a Playoff Game, what a wonderful memory for me.❤

[@lennyhummel2738]

He still has the smiling eyes of that 19 year old. Thanks for our memories Brookes.

[@kchez110]

There are no words strong enough to express his greatness. A true legend and gentleman. The greatest third baseman I have ever seen. RIP Brooks.

[@justinroe9271]

True legends never die!

[@johncole273]

Thank you Brooks

[@benmeltzer7213]

No one will ever break his record for consecutive Gold Gloves or for number of them.

[@sheawhitey5009]

Even if they do....BROOKS ROBINSON IS STILL THE GREATEST DEFENSE Third BASEMAN OF ALL TIME.

[@braviafeed]

He was a great baseball player and an even better man.

[@michaelteret4763]

So long, Brooksie. Thanks for everything! Love from another Baltimoron. :(

[@kevincurtis6550]

Brooks Robinson was the greatest third baseman I've ever seen. Off the field, he was a great human being, also.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

Back when I was in college, Brooks was there watching his son play for the opposing team. I was going to approach him to tell him how much he meant to me. I backed off and let a father watch his son play football. He was like a god to me. Already had his autograph. Those Orioles from the 60’s & 70’s were special. Baltimore was a special place then. Brooks and Unitas were the Lords of Baltimore.

[@sambonz1359]

Rest in Peace Mr. Brooks Robinson…I was one of the many who named my son after you… ⚾️ 😇🧡🖤🤍

[@bernadinebeatty7923]

And a good honest man. Nothing artificial about him, the real man.

[@Will-ex2wr]

Love you Brooks, RIP Champ 🧡🙏🏾

[@eichelbergergary]

Memorial Stadium!!

[@jonbeckleymorrisblues]

Even though I was a Senator fan, even though I knew the Orioles would beat the Senators, it was ok because I'd get to watch as a 14 year old 2nd Baseman Brooks and Frank Robinson play that evening. And, in baseball that was as special as it could get those days.

[@dfresh834]

Brooks created a legacy in Baltimore that brought us Cal. Cal grew that O's legacy. I can't wait to see which of these kids is going to carry that torch further!

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Always been impressed by that leap he asks about at 10:26, never imagined Brooks could do that so high !!! 😂

[@KeithHoward-bk3sz]

Now God has the best 3rd baseman to ever played the game he must have been tired of all the miss ground balls so he decided to bring Brooks on home to play the left side of the infield with Belanger, now there will be no more miss balls 5 and 7 are back together again!!!!!

[@jojofreelancer1210]

" most exciting thing that's ever happened to me" ... Brooks on winning the series

[@actorstuntman]

Brooks and Bobby Grich signed a baseball for me in Detroit, in the 1970's . Tiger's Gates Brown also signed it. It was later stolen but very recognizable with those 3 autographs. He Mentions American Legion ball, where I also played 82 games a year. Those inside the Major Leagues know that American Legion ball is where Pro teams draft their players for the Minor Leagues. (Who is the announcer for the interview ? He could pass for Jimmy Kimmel's brother. )

[@danacoleman4007]

This is nice.😊

[@benmeltzer7213]

He chose the Orioles because they were brand-new? Could someobne please explain to me why that would be a draw?

[@michelgalitzin685]

Pretty obvious- it would be the quickest way to get to play in the majors verses signing with an established club with many good players already in the minors ready and waiting to move up. Remember, the St Louis Browns sucked for a long time before moving to Baltimore.

[@benmeltzer7213]

@@michelgalitzin685 Thanks.

[@josephmcfarland8442]

Opportunity

[@michaelnelson1128]

Come on Orioles truly Honor him by winning this year's world series

[@benmeltzer7213]

With all due respect to Robinson, who was indeed a giant, Palmer was the centerpiece of the team's most dominant era (and I wager they say as much when Palmer passes away).

[@michelgalitzin685]

I get your point, but Brooks played every day while Palmer pitched every four to five days.

[@stokespeebles4206]

I doubt Earl Weaver would agree with you

[@towsonmoma875]

And he has a huge ego? Not like Brooks who was always humble.

[@abc-bu7nr]

My daughter is named Brooke because we were told our baby was going to be a boy. The next day they called and said, oops, its a girl.

[@crazyconcertdude]

Growing up in Central Illinois in the 60s & 70s, Brooks Robinson was my idol. I finally got to meet him in person in August of 1989. I was practically in tears because I was so excited. He was everything you want your idol to be. I named my son after him, and we kept in touch for over 30 years. His passing hit me hard, but I am happy I got to know him. He was a great player, but he was a better man. Rest In Peace, Brooks. Thank you for everything.
