About 10 years ago I met Brooks at a signing near Baltimore. I'm from Arkansas and was wearing my University of Arkansas Razorbacks cap. He told me 1964 was special to the Robinson family not only because of the MVP, but because Brooks' little brother was on the U of A football team, the year of their only national title. After the show we talked Arkansas college football for 10-15 minutes and we went over each game during that season. It felt like I was talking to a buddy. Such a true gentleman -
Heaven got richer today!
