How could you not tear up watching Jim Palmer do the same.
I couldn't. I lost it
@@moderateextremisttoysoldier same, he lost a good friend. Connie and their children lost a Dad and Husband. We lost the best.....
Brooks will be looking down helping us to the World Series. 😢
Every season we’ve won 100 games we’ve made it to the World Series
@@OUTLAWinTXExcept 1980. Finished 2nd in the East
I live in the Midwest and have been a fan since their glory days. I am so pulling for you guys. It's about time. Maybe all the accolades heaped on Brooks today will lift you guys over the line. Would be a great day!
@@LoudPet636 they got a shot.🤔 Look around the other teams aren't any better. Possibly Atlanta that's it.
@@LoudPet636 Thank you so much for your un-imformed opinion. The O's bullpen has the 5th best ERA in MLB, 5th best in saves at 48 (and that's with Bautista on the IL for the last month), 3rd most wins at 43, best win-loss record at 43-20 (.682 winning percentage), fewest HRs allowed at 52, and had 2 pitchers in the All Star game. Of course if you want to continue to think the Orioles have a terrible bullpen and show to everyone reading these comments how little you follow baseball, be my guest.
About lost it when Jim got choked up .. Brooks will be missed in Bmore ! RIP to the human vacuum !🖤🧡
Same here.
What a class act on and off the field. Love you Brooks.
He could sling that leather at third base. A true legend and champion. Now he can go to heaven and listen to Earls rants this October.
@@SaundersE5yeah I was thinking that to
@@SaundersE5 I believe it was Cincinnati catcher Johnny Bench who said after the Orioles had defeated the Reds in the 1970 World Series that Brooks Robinson was a "human vacuum cleaner" the way he could snag any hit along the third baseline that came his way.
It's hard to believe Jim Palmer is 77. RIP, Brooks.
Yes. Jim looks wonderful and healthy. And his voice, at least to me, doesn’t sound different than it did when I listened to him decades ago on tv broadcasts.
But to go along with his handsome looks and good genes m is a real refined soul, a sense of honor and loyalty, humility.
Not ashamed to say I cried when Jim was talking about Brooks on O's Xtra 😞
MR Oriole. RIP Brooks Robinson. Greatest 3rd baseman of all time.
Brooks was a vacuum cleaner at third base. 16 Gold Gloves. An even better human being!!
Sad day. JP class act
I like that Scott Garceau is there with him too.
All the memories come washing back as a kid watching Brooks and the Orioles. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time for a day. Today I actually did just that. RIP sir.
Brooks picked me up hitchhiking when I was 14 in 1969. I was in awe barley able to speak.Still one of my best sports memovies.
A friend met him and he said Brooks acted like he was waiting all his life to meet him.
BARLEY able to speak? Try BARELY. Barley is a grain.
What a fine and decent man to honor his friend Brooks and teammate I hope Jim stays in the booth for a long time.
I lived on 33rd Street in the late 80s and early 90s and the elderly lady across the alley told me about Brooks renting a room at her house during his rookie season. “A real sweet guy, a total gentleman” was her impression. He stayed that way long after fame would have changed most other people.
He's gone and he took a part of my boyhood with him. Thanks for everything and farewell, Brooks Robinson.
It’s never farewell it’s I’ll see you later !!
This one was tough. Tough indeed.
Watching Jim breaking up was so painful and beautiful at the same time. This Yankee fan always respected them and appreciated how great they were. I only wish Brooks could have seen how far the O's could go this year.
Brooks and Jim - two class acts, and two wonderful gentlemen.
2023 Baltimore Orioles will win the World Series for Brooks Robinson. RIP Legend.
I hope Jim Palmer is going to live forever. I love that dude. His voice maybe the most comforting voice in the world to me. ... well along with McDonald and Brown's.
Brooksie was just an awesome person. My favorite athlete, ever. Jim Palmer, what a class act.
Brooks was my childhood idle. I tried to emulate everything he did on the baseball Diamond. I wore the number 5 from little league to high school. I walked around with an oriole’s hat every day until I left for college. I’m 62 years old now and I’m not ashamed to admit that I shed a tear when I heard Brooks passed. A huge part of my childhood went with him.
GO O’S 🖤🧡
Edit: RIP Brooks Robinson ❤
Jim Palmer is a class guy….JUST LIKE BROOKS 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Soy un seguidor de Orioles en Monterrey México desde hace 55 años y siento mucho qué se nos fue míster tercera base😢QEPD
Godspeed Brooksie, you were and always will be my baseball hero..... they say never meet your heroes you'll be disappointed, well I met mine and as good a third baseman as he was he was a better human being.
Fans of baseball and Brook Robinson are mourning his passing, rightfully so. But for those of us who were born and raised in Baltimore and saw Brooks Robinson play at Memorial Stadium, this hits us on another level that I believe only Baltimoreans can and will understand. That is how much this man meant to Baltimore. Simply the best to ever were an Orioles uniform.
Those Orioles' in that era: iconic.
Jim Palmer got me in the feels. RIP #5 and thanks for everything!!!!
In little Springfield, Missouri, around 1983, I had the great pleasure of Brooks Robinson coming out to see a couple of softball games I was playing in. He autographed an Orioles cap I was playing with. He was my childhood hero. I was a third baseman. I always played with him in mind. I have always dreaded this day. So long hero !!!!
I was never a huge baseball fan, but growing up in and near Maryland I surely knew the exploits of Brooks Robinson on 3rd base and the great Orioles teams of that era. On another note, at age 77 Jim Palmer's hair is spectacular.
"And then you gotta decide who you want to be like. And for all of us, we knew him, he was the best."
Thank you Jim. Perfectly said. 5 will never die.
I grew up in the 60's nowhere near a major league team, so I adopted them - the Cards, Cubbies, Reds, and O's. I've lived in Maryland for 41 years now. I saw Brooksie and the crew on TV (or heard them on radio when "the skip" was right) - I got to see Cal live more than once.
So many great players in such a great baseball city..but Brooksie was a magician.
Bless Jim Palmer - no worries, Jim; us, too.
two of the best orioles!
One legend talking about a even bigger legend…
Rip Brooks Calbert Robinson Jr, you will be missed
The word Class seems to have been invented with Brooks Robinson in mind, what a great player and an even better person. I remember when Ellie Hendricks died, that affected Brooks enormously, he said such beautiful words to describe Ellie and now it is Brooks who deserves to be fondly remembered by not only Oriole's fans but all across the Baseball world.
Rest In Peace, Brooksie, now you are defending the hot corner for God's All Star Team !!!
Brooks Robinson was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas. His family lived next door to a school for the deaf and Brooks learned empathy and compassion from meeting many of the students who walked by and he saw/met most days. That was certainly apparent in the way he lived his life and interacted with others. RIP Mr. Robinson
@@bufnyfan1 Remarkable !!! Thank You !!!
RIP Brooks from Toronto.
win it for brooks
I'm sad this great ballplayer and very fine gentleman has left us. from a Yankee fan.⚾️
My first childhood hero. Looking back, he may have been the only one that deserved that title. The greatest FIELDER that ever lived period. No argument at all. Strange feelings today. Very sad.
Mine too, and he lived up to the title.
@@TheSlowoldman Without a doubt. A great great man!
Our son was named after Brooks Robinson!!
I was so fortunate to have grown up with Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer as my sports idols. Years later, working as a sports reporter, I got to meet and spend time with Brooks, and was so delighted to discover that he was such a nice man and a class act. RIP Brooks
I think Baltimore Loved Brooks Like Brooks Loved Baseball! JJ
Well said ! And I'm sure quite so. Brooks would have made a great MLB Commissioner after his great playing career.
Your an og fan for that
@@user-mn9lq8dq1y O's Fan since Early 60s! Wink Cheers JJ
@@johnjacobs1625 jj inspired me to play short and adopt the number 2 he's a legend
Brooks was the best of Baltimore. He won’t be forgotten. ❤
I was always a big Oriole's fan and Brooks was absolutely at the top of the list for me over any other ball player. The plays he made at third base were INSANE and super-human! Nice to see Jim Palmer again and talking about Boog Powel. Will never forget the "BOOOOOGs" every time he came out to bat. Thanks for this.
🙏🙏💔 rip brooks
LETS GO ORIOLES⚫🟠
I met him in 1966 . I was nine years old. My dad owned a sporting goods store and every year we’d go to the trade show. And there would be a number of ball players signing autographs. Jim Palmer was there in 1967. I have a photo of my brother and me with Jim Palmer and yogi Berra. But the nicest ball player that I ever met was Brooks Robinson. He made the time to talk to the kids he made such an impression on me that I remember nearly 60 years later.
legend - rest in peace legend of my life
We all feel it Jim.
Brooks and Willie were my favorites✌️❤️🙏
Brooks will be watching the o’s win the World Series
1964 AL MVP, 16 Gold Gloves, 18 All-Star games, 2x World Series Champion during his 23 years here in Baltimore. His on-field genius was far surpassed by his humble and unassuming manner. I heard he plays for the "Angels" now...and I'm okay with that. God be with his loved ones. Matthew 05:04. Salute!!
My favorite player.
That’s my legend pitcher!
As a boy I was amazed by Brooks
Robinson.
How he played the game.
We need players like the one's i grew up with
Thats why today I dont watch Baswball
As a freshman in college 1970, I sent him some clips from the paper of him stealing hits in the World Series. He signed them and sent me a photo...signed. Still have them. I wish I had written him before his passing, to remind him.
From a lifelong Seattle Mariners fan. We won't be going there again this year. So go for broke Baltimore Orioles! Real classy people have come to that organization for sure.
Nolan arenado, Jose Ramirez, Adrian Beltre, Wade boggs, chipper Jones, Manny Machado. Mike Schmidt, Scott rolen, George Bret, Eddie Mathews. Joe Torre and Orlando cepeda play some partial time at the 3B position but nobody was better at it than Brook Robinson.
George Brett was Great
I went to a baseball card show in Toledo Ohio...i think it was either right before or after Brooks was inducted to the HO F and got an autograph photo. He signed it lefthanded which struck me as odd. Lol...still have it with all my sports collectibles as a kid in storage.
RIP Brooks, aka "Human Vacuum"
❤❤❤
Dang, Palmer has aged well.
He’s 103 years old but looks 60
Palmer was the youngest player to pitch a shutout in the World Series in 1966 against the Dodgers at age 20, a complete game of course. His mound opponent was Sandy Koufax, the last game Sandy ever pitched. I think Palmer's record still stands. I remember everyone wondering who this Palmer kid was. We know now. By the way, the O's shut out the Dodgers the next 2 games, completing the sweep.
Games 3 and 4 of 1966 Series were in Baltimore, both won by the Orioles 1-0. Paul Blair hit a home run in Game 3, and Frank Robinson connected of Don Drysdale in Game 4. I assume both those games were complete games. Dodger pitchers also likely pitched late into the games, possibly being lifted for pinch hitters late in game. There was no DH back then, "baseball as it oughta be."
@@sdot5389no way fr he is don't know that he has
Saw him early on at 3rd base for the Orioles, no matter where he played, he would have be the same great 3rd baseman
How can you not be romantic about baseball
Brooks set the standard by which all other 3rd Basemen will be judged
Never saw a greater baseball player, and I saw Mantle and Mays.
A grizzled Palmer
Jim has not aged well with the excessive plastic surgery
Rangers won game one
If you ever wonder, this is why nobody respects Texas.
Get a Pride night.
Brooks Robinson was my idol growing up here in Central Illinois. I named my son after him. Losing him was like losing a close family member. I cried for a couple of days. Brooks was always such a delight to be around and so kind. I picked a great man to have as my idol. Rest In Peace, Brooks. 😢
Boy Jim Palmer looks fantastic.
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😭
