Day 228 (August 15, 2020 – 228)
Today seems like a good day for a couple Brooks photos with his lumber.
A 1971 photograph by Tadder of Brooks at home in Memorial Stadium waiting on-deck with some eye black, B. Robinson on his back, BR on the knob, and his signature short brim helmet with the cut ear flap, just reading the pitcher. That looks like a H&B bat, but it’s has the circle like Adirondack; which is it?
