Brooks Robinson Videos

Brooks Robinson videos can be found throughout baseball history. Baseball: A film by Ken Burns, was the story of America's national pastime - an epic overflowing with heroes and hopefuls, scoundrels and screwballs. The saga brought to life rare images of baseball players hardly ever seen and in that vein Baseball Almanac is bringing to you Brooks Robinson videos that have been researched by hand and specifically chosen to illustrate the life and times of this ballplayer.

"I'm beginning to see Brooks (Robinson) in my sleep. If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first." - Sparky Anderson
