We went to Hochschild's department store and on the 2nd floor sat Brooks Robinson signing autographs for kids. I can remember him asking my name.That was about it! From that point on I was a huge Brooks fan. When I got home I showed every kid in the neighborhood. What a great memory!
Scott,

Love the Hochschild's piece, but enjoy the background story even better! That will make you a Brooks fan for life...
