Brooks Robinson and Clete Boyer are the reason I started playing 3B as a kid.

RIP...I was thinking the other day about death and started naming off all the close friends, relatives, co workers,childhood friends, and ex wives that are now dead. It is a very humbling thing to do. There so many names . It reminded me of the poem Thanatopsis. " Yet not to thine eternal resting place shalt thy go alone, nor couldst thou wish couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down with patriarchs of the infant world...with Kings "

Feel fortunate to have lived long enough to have seen so many of these great players in their prime play the game for the love of the game before money became as much a part of every conservation as the player himself.

Brooks was a true phenomenon at the Hot Corner. He was the absolute best fielder at a position that identified many great fielders, the Boyers, Schmidt, Boggs, etc. Truthfully, I was not aware that he was still living. May the Lord grant rest to his soul.
