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.

Loving all the info about what a stand-up guy he was. Love that. We need more of those types of humans in our lives. Here’s my contribution of Brooksie (RIP) “rookies”:
