Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

[Marchillo]

Cool Brooks return today. I coach 4/5 year old coach pitched little league and there is a kid Lucas who is a great 3rd basemen (at age 4). Anyways he’s fearless can throw across the smaller field etc. Anyways I always tell his dad he’s a mini Brooks Robinson. Decided to send this out and Brooks didn’t disappoint. We have a game tonight and last one is Friday so just in time. Excited to give this to him. Hopefully he appreciates it when he gets older.

Very thoughtful! I’m sure he’ll appreciate the card when he’s older and the dad I’m sure will appreciate it now...

Here is a team signed ball from that club (featuring a 20 year old Bill Ripken):

Very NICE! I miss all of the information being presented on the minor league clubs associated with the Orioles. Thanks for more information and an early Ripken auto….
