Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[BaltOrioles]

I remember Bob Bonner with the Orioles in the early 1980's. I remember him leaving baseball to pursue his ministry activities (I AM Ministries International)

Some of you may have already seen this article posted on another thread, but I thought I would share. Very interesting story at the end of the article that I had never heard before.

Here's a few Bob Bonner items.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Bobby on a couple occasions and he couldn't have been a nicer guy. He did write an autobiography a few years ago and I'd recommended it to anyone (Oriole fan or not).

Earlier in the year I did post an Orioles game used jersey of his but here is a perfect opportunity to post one from Rochester:
