For 23 years, from the time he first came came up the the Orioles in 1955 until he retired as a player in 1977, Brooks Robinson added a new dimension to the position he played with such skill and such flare, and contributed so many priceless intangibles that gave new meaning to Baltimore Orioles Baseball.

Over the past quarter century, the Orioles have had the best record in all of baseball. It was no mere coincidence that the winning tradition and the Brooks Robinson era began at just about the same time.

But, it was far more than his playing ability that made Brooks Robinson stand out above the crowd. it has been said that he was the best third basemen who ever played the game, and no one here today will challenge that claim. The fact remains however, that Brooks is an even better human being.

His landslide election to Baseball's prestigious Hall of Fame on the first ballot was a vivid illustration that Brooks Robinson is not simply a Baltimore institution. He is, in truth, respected and beloved throughout this country.... and beyond.

But those of us who have lived in the Baltimore area have had a distinct advantage over the years. We had the opportunity to see him play more often for his only team, and to know him better because of his active on-going community involvement in his adopted home town where he has lived for so many years with his wife, Connie and their four children (Brooks David, Chris, Michael, Diana).

After his playing days ended in 1977, Brooks joined Crown Central Petroleum Corporation as Assistant to Management, to start his second career.
