When I was a kid in the early 1970s, just about everybody I knew wore a Brooks Robinson model Rawlings glove — especially after his performance in the 1970 World Series. On baseball fields everywhere, whenever an infielder made a a great play, it was compared to one Brooks would have made (at least until Ozzie Smith showed up). I recall meeting him as a teenager — with a big grin, he asked ME if I wanted HIS autograph. I hated watching him shut down my beloved Reds with his diving plays, but I respected him as a player and a person. It's going be tougher than ever today to hit a ball down the third base line in Heaven.
