Probably the nicest person I ever got an autograph from at a show. Classic signature too.

I picked up this 1968-71 Brooks gamer about 35 years ago coming out of a card show and stopping a guy who was going in to sell it. It was my 2nd or 3rd bat I ever bought, and after 200+ more I obtained, this is still my favorite.

In 2002 at an All-Star game appearance at a Milwaukee bar he was signing for free. When I got to the front of the line a sign said NO BATS. Brooks saw me and the bat, waived off the attendant, gave my bat a good grip and half swing and then signed it with a smile. He was the Best

I got his autograph at a show in 1991 and he was just the nicest guy imaginable. I'm quite sad to see him go.

Sad day for baseball fans. One of the most under rated players from his era, yet still a legendary player. His defensive prowess may never be met. Here are a couple of my favorite Brooks Robinson cards.

Hard to think of Brooks as underrated, but I guess you have a point. At least he's never underrated when discussing third basemen. But is his material undervalued? Most assuredly.
