I am originally from Arkansas, but was raised in Maryland. As such, I am the world's only die-hard Arkansas Razorbacks AND Baltimore Orioles fan. It's only natural that I am a huge Brooks Robinson fan, although I wasn't alive during his zenith. Got to meet Brooks last year at a local signing. The minute I told him I was from Arkansas, that's all we spoke about....for ten minutes. Brooks is also a huge Razorbacks fan and we talked about the football team and his brother who played for our national title squad in 1964. We spoke nothing about the Orioles or baseball....just our love for our mutual home state. He was so excited that he asked to have his picture taken with me! It really was a great experience. Love Brooks, Go O's and Woo Pig Sooiee.
