There are some photos of Brooks when he played briefly here in Vancouver for the Mounties. I'll try and see if I have some scans
A google search shows the most common image I've seen, plus the common team photo

Brooks is shown as a Mountie on the 1959 Team Picture, but it is only a small inset photo, top left.

Brooksie photo
Thanks for posting the two photos of Brooks on the Mounties. All of the ones I've seen in the past, at least as far as I know, have been reprints of pictures. I've also seen a copy of a snap shot where he was with the White Roses and another a copy of maybe a newspaper article, when he played for the Cienfuegos.
I wonder where all of the photo's, whether it's a team or individual photos, when he was in the minors?

I have a 1956 San Antonio Missions Brooks Robinson game-worn cap. More than anything, I would love a photo with him in that!

Another shot of him with the Mounties is the only image I have other than somewhere around here I have a photo of him as a kid (like 3-4 years old?) with a bat, but can't seem to lay hands on it at the moment.
Edited: Whoops! Nevermind. As pointed out by Jeff below, this is LaRussa, not Robinson. I grabbed the wrong image, and as it turns out, the one I have is the same as shown above. Now I'll really have to find that kiddie photo of Brooks to redeem myself

 Shouldn't that hat be "donated"to a true Brooksie fan? (man...if I were only born rich or had the talent to make a lot of money!). You know I'm just kidding and if I could afford that hat I would love to own it one day.Lance...I don't think that's Brooks?!? At least it doesn't look like him to me. I "think" I saw that picture you were talking about of him as a child. I believe it was a wire photo used for when he retired, am I correct?
