Remembering Mr. Oriole | Brooks Robinson | Baltimore Orioles 

If you are commenting this early, you are still crying as hard as I am. RIP, Brooksie. You meant everything to this city and to the beautiful game. You put the charm in Charm City. You turned this franchise into a juggernaut. You had the respect of every great player of your era. You always stayed with Baltimore. So humble, so gracious. Salt of the earth. I cry thinking about your Appreciation Day last September, and how you got a chance to interact with the likes of Adley and Gunnar. I only wish you were able to be here to see this team in the postseason. They will play in your honor. Giving us one more dose of Orioles Magic. RIP.

RIP Brooks Robinson. Let’s win the World Series for him. GO O’s!

My hero. Actually saw his last home run

Brooks will always be my hero. He took the time one weekend in Cleveland to just talk during his warmer time. It lasted for about 30 minutes. RIP Brooks

Dear Oriole and Baseball Fans; As a former minor league player and Baltimore native, let me tell you this; Brooks had more than a Gold Glove. He had an absolutely Golden Heart. One of the kindest Human Beings you would ever hope to meet. Now both of my childhood Robinson heroes have taken their Oriole flight. Brooks was a pure joy to watch, even wearing his cut-off billed batting helmet!

Thanks for the memories Brooks and the Robinson brothers are playing a game together again. 😢😢

Glad he got to make it out to his appreciation day last year. See the team this year, I know they will give it every they have for him, as he always did for Baltimore.

Ultimate great. Definitely a candidate for Baltimore sports mount Rushmore

Rest in peace mr. Robinson!! Brooks Robinson is my favorite baseball player of all time! He was a great player and a friendly and kind man!! He made a young 11 year old black girl in 1966 feel appreciated as a fan and I fell in love with the game of baseball⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️❤

Rest in peace Robinson

An Orioles legend will surely be missed. My condolences to all Orioles fans everywhere. Rest in Eternal Paradise, Brooks Robinson.

Truly a Class Act!

He was my favorite baseball player of all time. And he was the GOAT at 3rd base. R.I.P.

RIP Brooks Robinson, Mr. Oriole.

What a great player. A childhood hero.

Prayers for you, Mr Robinson. You are a role model on and off the diamond. 🙏

Another childhood hero gone! I played behind Brooks a charity golf tournament, as play was slow we had the opportunity to talk with him quite often! He was the most gracious and accommodating star player!

I got to meet Brooks at his house. I worked for a friend of mine who built aquatic ponds. My friend knew I was a huge Oriole fan. He didn't tell me we were at Brook's house. He surprised me and introduced me to him. I'll never forget it. He was so nice, and I was so excited to meet him. Rip Brooksie. Thank you for the memories. We love you.

I was born in 1978, so I missed Brooks' playing career, but as a young man around 11 years old, took a great interest in baseball and its grand history. Particularly that of my hometown Orioles. I gained immense respect for Brooks and the legendary talent that he possessed. He was my Mom's favorite player. May he rest in peace. I'm not sure if my Orioles are quite ready to win a World Series this year, but if they do, I'm certain that this kind man would look down from the great beyond and smile.

I was a 12 year old kid watching with awe as Brooks Robinson dazzled with amazing plays at 3rd base. Beat the Reds in the World Series. I had all kinds of clippings on my bedroom walls from Sport's illustrated or newspapers. What memories I will always have from guys like Boog, Frank, Jim and Brooks. A huge part of my childhood. RIP my old friend. God rest your soul. I leave this comment as my eyes well up.

Greatest 3rd baseman that ever played and was an even better human being. The Orioles have had many great players over the years but there is only one Mr Oriole. RIP Brooks Robinson

God Bless Brooks, and thank You for Blessing us with Brooks!

IP brooks Robinson greatest oriole of all time may you rest in peace you’re an angel now

I remember as a kid (around 74) getting his card...I was really young...The sun brilliantly shined on him in the picture and thinking...Wow...This guy is a STAR...And he was...

Thank you for everything Brooksie. I remember meeting Brooks with my parents and my grandmother when I was in the fourth grade. It’s a memory that I will always cherish. Thank you #5.

Wow. This one hurts. Thanks for the beautiful tribute. 😢RIP Sir. ❤

RIP from Toronto. What an honour it is for me to have had the nickname Brooks when i went to prep school in Maryland in 89-90 while playing 3rd base on my baseball team. I wore # 5 too. By accident. Thanks to my coach for the leadership and nickname. My dad had told me about Brooks growing up so i knew of him. Thankfully the internet was invented and i got to see the highlights and videos. RIP Mr. Robinson.

A legend that will be always remembered by this oriole Fan! He’s one of a reason why I’m a big orioles fan. That’s my team! I was born in it.

Met him at a Boston Baseball Card Show in the 1990s. What a Humble Hero! R.I.P., Brooks.

Couldn’t let it out because I was at the game tonight when I heard about from ESPN. Mr. Oriole will be missed! 😭😭😭

I loved that man as a child growing up in Indiana. Great player RestI In Peace Mr. Robinson. A class act!

Too young to have seen him play. Grew up on Cal Jr. But as an orioles fan I had always heard about how his range at 3rd was legendary. True greatness is both an aspiration and an inspiration! R.I.P. to one of the greats!

I remember many times as a youth my dad taking me to the O's games and watching the best third baseman ever played the game. RIP Brooks Robinson and my thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

I'm 66 years old. I was a very lucky 9 year old to be at game 4 of the '66 World Series. We had good seats somewhere just beyond third base so I had a great view of Brooks. I'll never forget his leap for joy at the end of the game. Yes, he was one of my childhood heroes. How many times did I pretend to be him fielding grounders off of my pitch-back in the back yard or off of the driveway garage door. His play on the field and his kindness and humility had a major positive impact on me. Later, after he retired, my son and I met Brooks at a card show. He was so kind and in no hurry to end our visit. Thank God for blessing us with Brooks. Like so many, I love Brooks. Finally, let me say that one of the best things I've seen on RU-vid in many years is "Thanks Brooks, Day" on 9/24 last year at Camden. When he was driven around the field, his pure, genuine kindness just flowed out to the fans.

R.I.P. to the human vacuum…a true legend and class act! The league and the world could use more Brooks Robinsons. Baltimore will miss you!

Rip😭

Lord have mercy! I remember two Robinsons on the same team at the same time.And i a lowly Tigers fan/win or lose

How fitting the Orioles win a 1-0 game in memory of the player who drove in the most runs in 1-0 games in MLB history.

A legend then, a legend now, a legend forever. Orioles Nation weeps for your family, Mr. Oriole.

Brooks was my dad’s favorite baseball player. My dad celebrated his 64th birthday yesterday, September 26th, the day Brooks passed. RIP Brooksie - we will miss you

God's baseball team was missing a third baseman, and his number was called up. That's a team we should all strive for. 📖🛐🌄

I loved watching brooks play as a kid

RIP To my childhood hero and a great man. We love you, Brooks!! ❤️❤️❤️

RIP GO BRIDLAND 😢😢😢

I remember watching him in the '66 world series. He was amazing. He was the original vacuum cleaner at 3rd base. Nothing got past him. If you hit the ball anywhere near 3rd base you were instantly out. His hitting was sensational as well. He hit .429 and homered twice and drove in six runs, including the tie-breaking home run in the seventh inning of game one. Just an amazing all-around baseball player! RIP Brooks Robinson.

This is tragic. 😥

Goodbye, friend. There will never be another Brooks Robinson.

Nice tribute for such a phenomenal player! RIP Brooks Robinson!

Never met Brooks, although I was able to watch him dozens of times at 33rd Street. I feel like I've lost a close personal friend. I don't cry often but I cried when I heard. A true hero, on and off the diamond. Rest In Peace Mr. Orioles, and THANK YOU!!! 😢

Sad to see that another legend has passed on. I always admired his defense but I always liked to watch him come to bat just to see his trimmed down helmet bill. May God bless him and his family. 🙏🏽

Brooks Robinson made me a ORIOLES fan in 1970 while watching the World Series. Ever since then I have always been a ORIOLES fan. RIP #5 BROOKS ROBINSON! Amen.

Thank you Brooks. I love you. My Dad took us to Memorial Stadium to see The Orioles. When we moved to North West Indiana, my Dad took us to see The Orioles in Chicago. Thanks for all the memories.

I have an old recording of my gran father that I will never forget. His favorite player was Brooks. My dads was Brooks. I'm watching the game tonight hoping we win one for him.

Oh what a beautiful tribute !!! This man deserves to be remembered as a great player and as an even better individual. Thank You Brooksie !!! ⚾

great legend since i was a kid - i got a signed ball and a brooks robinson louisville slugger bat from when i was young - outa five siblings i am the youngest and only one born out of NJ and in Baltimore MD - They all call me the Baltimore Baby. Rest In Peace Legend

What I remember about Brooks was how kind and friendly he was getting a autograph from him when I was 12 years old not like a few of the current oriole players who all they see is dollar signs and won't sign for there fans. RIP Brooks

I had the pleasure and honour of meeting him at a charity golf tournament that I worked at and he went out of his way to introduce himself to me, something I remember 30 years later.❤

Wow I'm absolutely saddened by the news of Brooks Robinson. This is my absolute favorite Baltimore Orioles player ever. Rest in peace Brooks Robinson. I hope Baltimore wins a championship this year. Please Orioles nation win for Mr. Oriole. Win the 2023 world series For Brooks Robinson!!!

As a teenager, when the Orioles were in NY playing the Yankees, I not only got his autograph, but he even gave my brother and me free tickets to the game! I will never forget that! I remember Brooks Robinson as a very nice, friendly, down to earth guy!👍🏽

Mr. Robinson you inspired me to play the game & always wore # 5, just wanted to be a little like you, Thank you for the kinda person you were. Your kindness will always be remembered.

Dad was a Philly Fan But He Loved Watching Brooks!! & Dad took me to meet Brooks when I was 12 or 13! What a Great GUY! Rest in Peace FRIEND! JJ

Aww man RIP Brooks 🙏

I am a Yankees fan who grew up during the 1960s and 1970s and I always admired and respected Brooks Robinson. The greatest 3rd baseman of my generation and beyond. Defensively nobody compares and offensively a tremendous clutch hitter. He singlehandedly dismantled the Reds offense in the 1970 World Series. One by one over the past 3 years we lost some of the greatest players of a generation who ever lived. Sad day. RIP Brooks Robinson

I was raised in the Pacific Northwest, but we didn't have a team until the mid 70s, so I was an Orioles fan. The teams in the late 60s and early 70s are what cemented my playing days, and I owe so much to that squad, of which Brooks was the cornerstone.

I have several autographs of Brooks Robinson. Such a friendly man when he did public signings. RIP Number 5.

I just happened to run across my pennant and autographed ball from the 1971 World Series and started looking up players when I ran across this. I had no idea as I don't follow the team much these days. He was my childhood hero and I still remember my mom and dad taking me to games when I was younger. He was a class act on and off the field. I did a book report on his biography. He was really the only sports figure that I truly adored and like the prior commentor said, I cried and I'm still crying because it just reminded me of how much the O's and Brooks in particular were part of my childhood and my family. My mom died a few years ago and lived about 1/2 a mile from Brooks Robinson Drive.

My first little league team, the farm Orioles, I played 3rd base and was so happy to learn who Brooks Robinson was. I idolized him for his great play and he remains a favorite player of mine - even though I'm not an Orioles fan. RIP Mr. Robinson. Earl Weaver is slowly getting his team back - now 3rd base is filled :-)

Of all the baseball stars' autographs, I think Brooks' will be worth the least because EVERYONE already has one or more. He signed everything for everybody. I love you Brooks.

The absolutely best 3rd Basemen to ever play the game. I will forever cherish my signed copy of the Orioles Trivia booklet by this man that my father was able to get for me as a salesmen at All Star Dodge.

I grew up watching Brooks play. Although I live in North Carolina, I was born in Baltimore in 1959, and I have been and will always be an Orioles fan. By time I could watch baseball, Brooks was already playing for the Orioles. Our family went to many games at Memorial Stadium. It's funny, though, but my father, who was a big Brooks Robinson fan - like me - looks a little like him. I can still hear him cheering for Brooks every time he came to bat, or made a play - "Hey hey hey, Brooksie!" And although my dad passed away in 2013, he was also 86, like Brooks, when he died. So I can't help but remember BOTH men today, and feel sad that they're gone. But they will always be remembered.

I'm still crying. It's the morning after hearing of Brook's death. He was my mom's favorite. I didn't grow up in Baltimore but after moving here in the late 60's my mom quickly found out that the Orioles was a baseball team that she could love. Brooks, Boog, Palmer were her baseball idols. I got to meet Brooks several times while working at BWI airport. He was always ready to talk some baseball with you. He would call me "darlin'" because of course, he didn't know my name. I see now how "Thank God I''m A Country Boy" is so fitting as the Orioles 7th inning stretch song because Brooks remained forever a country boy from Arkansas. Rest In Peace Brooks and watch the Birds go all the way this season. Sit next to Mo Gaba and cheer them on together.

My greatest sports hero! My role model as a human being!

Brooks Robinson is an legendary of MLB.

I used to live in Dallas and went to a lot of Rangers games. Whenever the Orioles came to town, we would do anything we could to get seats right by 3rd base, just to watch Brooks. Didn't even care who won, as long as we could watch him play.

Brooks and Connie were not only neighbors they were very good friends with my uncle and our family…..he was the best there ever was……Heaven 5, Baltimore 0…..RIP Brooks.

Godspeed Brooksie, you were and always will be my baseball hero..... they say never meet your heroes you'll be disappointed, well I met mine and as good a third baseman as he was he was a better human being.

Brooks was baltimore..we miss u

2023 Baltimore Orioles will win the World Series for Brooks Robinson. RIP Legend.

He was phenomenal. I saw that play that he did on third base in the world series.😢

I love you , Brooksie, and I always will . #5

Rip Brooks Calbert Robinson Jr, you will be missed

He was playing well before my time. I was lucky enough, however, to see him pre-game at a York Revolution game sometime in the past decade. He and partners were brought, in some form of pro baseball, back to York (I can't remember the level, but they were affiliated with the Pirates). If you've never been to the Revs stadium, then know it's called Brooks Way (or something like that). They have a monument of him near the main gate. I can only image what they will do to start next season in remembering him.

Brooks Robinson(1937~2023). one of the greatest third basement player of all time. lengend........

Sad video but also a good video. Thanks for posting

May the glove be with you.

Thank you Brooks

Well said... Reggie was all about himself, but Brooks was all about the game and the team. And that's why people look up to him.

The Field of DREAMs Just got to Greatest! JJ

There are only a few ball players cards i will collect. BROOKS ROBINSON is one of them.
