Yogi Berra was the manager. Robinson didn't play third in the game - he was coming off knee replacement surgery which matches with the photo. Brooks played right field - where he allowed an inside-the-park home run.

Thanks for the GREAT detective work and photo!! Would this have been by chance Brooksie's last on the field GAME in a uniform?

Man, I didn’t know Brooks played any Old Timers Games in the 2000’s. I thought it would be late 90’s. I’m wondering if this was his last OT game as well.

I’m wondering if the above photo wearing a Nabisco jersey is a different game than the one I pictured. It appears he’s playing 3rd during the game, he’s wearing a light cap, where the above is a dark cap and definitely a different glove.

Good morning,

Since the subject came up, I thought I'd post a store display from the 2000 Team Nabisco All-Stars promotion that I acquired a few years ago.

Mike:

That's a great advertising sign! Thanks for sharing.......

I was able to pick up this 2131 30th Anniversary Cal Ripken Jr. promotional sign from their team store a couple weeks ago
