Brooks Robinson - Minor League Photograph?

[Mark70Z]

With all of the photo threads I have yet to see a Brooks Robinson minor league or Cuban league photo. Does anyone have one or are they just non-existent?

Also, I have yet to see a rookie era photo of Brooks as well posted, so any of those would be fine too. There has to be early pictures of Brooksie out there "somewhere"...

Please...please post (notice I said please twice; well, now three times)

There are some photos of Brooks when he played briefly here in Vancouver for the Mounties. I'll try and see if I have some scans


A google search shows the most common image I've seen, plus the common team photo

Brooks is shown as a Mountie on the 1959 Team Picture, but it is only a small inset photo, top left.

Thanks for posting the two photos of Brooks on the Mounties. All of the ones I've seen in the past, at least as far as I know, have been reprints of pictures. I've also seen a copy of a snap shot where he was with the White Roses and another a copy of maybe a newspaper article, when he played for the Cienfuegos.

I wonder where all of the photo's, whether it's a team or individual photos, when he was in the minors?

I have a 1956 San Antonio Missions Brooks Robinson game-worn cap. More than anything, I would love a photo with him in that!

Another shot of him with the Mounties is the only image I have other than somewhere around here I have a photo of him as a kid (like 3-4 years old?) with a bat, but can't seem to lay hands on it at the moment.

Edited: Whoops! Nevermind. As pointed out by Jeff below, this is LaRussa, not Robinson. I grabbed the wrong image, and as it turns out, the one I have is the same as shown above. Now I'll really have to find that kiddie photo of Brooks to redeem myself

Orioles1954...and I dislike you for that! Shouldn't that hat be "donated"to a true Brooksie fan? (man...if I were only born rich or had the talent to make a lot of money!). You know I'm just kidding and if I could afford that hat I would love to own it one day.

Lance...I don't think that's Brooks?!? At least it doesn't look like him to me.

I "think" I saw that picture you were talking about of him as a child. I believe it was a wire photo used for when he retired, am I correct?
