As best I could tell, Ripken was very much in that tradition as well.

I'm just heartbroken tonight. My baseball hero is gone. He'd been looking so frail lately I think I knew this day was coming, but it still is a sad evening.
My aunt, an Orioles fan in Baltimore called Brooks' office at Crown Petroleum when my daughter was born in 1987 and told his secretary that his biggest fan had had a daughter. Brooks himself called her and got my mailing address. Soon this photo arrived unsolicited.

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!

RiP Mr. Robinson
I met Mr Robinson at a show where he was signing with Bob Feller. I never met two nicer ball players before or since. And watching him play it was very clear to me what a hall of fame 3rd baseman looked like. This is one of my favorite cards of Mr. Robinson.
