Furthermore, MLB Commissioner Manfred issued the following statement tonight regarding the passing of Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson, who was 86. He mentions:
“All of us at Major League Baseball are saddened by the loss of Brooks Robinson. One of the Greats of our National Pastime and a legend of the Baltimore Orioles.
Brooks stood among the greatest defensive players that have ever lived. He was a two time World Series Champion, the 1964 American League MVP and the winner of 16 consecutive Gold Gloves at third base. He was a model of excellence, durability, loyalty and winning baseball for the Orioles. After his playing career, he continued to make contributions to the game by working with the MLB Players Alumni Association.
I will always remember Brooks as a true gentleman who represented our game extraordinarily on and off the field all of his life. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I send my deepest condolences to the Brooks’ family, his many friends across the game and Orioles fans everywhere.”
Brooks was an amazing man as a player, competitor, and teammate. His passion for the game and his talents will forever live on etched in our minds. You will be missed Mr. Robinson… and we will always appreciate what you meant to the Orioles and America’s favorite pastime.
