He was a great third baseman and an even better person. Met him a few times and he always acted like he knew you forever. He was very respected in the Baltimore community and throughout baseball. RIP Brooks
Great player on some really good Baltimore teams.
Thatās a shame, I played ball with his son. I met him a few times when he showed up for picture day, nice guy.
The best fielding third baseman that I saw play in person. His play in the 1970 World Series versus Cincinatti was outstanding from a fielding perspective. Very underrated hitter.

He was the center point of some pretty spectacular Orioles Teams. I grew up in Reading. I remember my dad taking my brother and I to see them in Memorial Stadium whenever they Yankees came to town. My dad loved the Yankees but wouldnāt take us to the Bronx.
RIP Mr Robison, a good life lived.
