Major League Baseball Hall Of Famer and Baltimore Orioles Legend Brooks Robinson passed away on Tuesday at the age of 86.
Considered one of the greatest to ever play the hot corner, Robinson was an 18 time All-Star and 16 time Golden Glove winner. He played his entire 23 year career with the Orioles tying him with Carl Yastrzemski (23 years with the Boston Red Socks) for most seasons spent with a team in MLB history. He was inducted into Cooperstown in 1983.
"We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson. An integral part of our Orioles family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact of our club, our community, and the sport of baseball. He embodies everything great not only about the Orioles, but the game of baseball and the city of Baltimore. As the late sports columnist John Steadman once observed, as great a ball player as Brooks Robinson is, he is an even greater person," the Orioles said in a press release.
