jv1972iu Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 (edited) One of the best...maybe THE best defensive third basemen to play the game. Sixteen consecutive gold gloves...HOF...and more. Edited September 26 by jv1972iu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP At the time, I cringed and screamed, but now that I'm old...ahhh, you just admire his abilities and marvel at those plays. It was a magnificent display of defense. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzIam4IU Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 (edited) I met him at a baseball card show in the late 80s when I was a kid. Signed a 1974 baseball card for me. I think he charged like $5. Very well worth it. He was super nice guy. Edited September 27 by FritzIam4IU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Not sure why, but as a baseball crazed kid growing up in the 70's, I never warmed up to Brooks. That said, another cardboard memory from my youth gone. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
