"I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life." - Brooks Robinson Brooks Robinson QuotesQuotes From & About Brooks RobinsonQuotes From Brooks Robinson"Fifty years from now I'll be just three inches of type in a record book." Source: Sport (Al Stump)"I could field as long as I can remember, but hitting has been a struggle all my life.""If you're not practicing, somebody else is, somewhere, and he'll be ready to take your job.""I'll play out the string and leave baseball without a tear. A man can't play games his whole life." Source: Sport (Al Stump)"I'm a guy who just wanted to see his name in the lineup everyday. To me, baseball was a passion to the point of obsession.""I'm a Major League third baseman. If you want to go play in a parking lot, I'm supposed to stop the ball." (Reply given before game one of the 1970 World Series in regards to if he thought he would have a problem playing on Astroturf for the first time)"It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word." Source: Third Base is My Home (Brooks Robinson)"I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those." Source: Dallas Times-Herald (May 4, 1975)"I've never been hurt by a ground ball, and yet I've got more false teeth (from a batting cage hit) than a Polish fullback. Funny, isn't it." Source: Sport Magazine's All-Time All Stars (Tom Murray)"I wouldn't mind seeing someone erase my record of hitting into four triple plays.""I watch baseball today and a third baseman makes a great play, they say 'That's a Brooks Robinson play.' and I ask myself, 'Did I ever do that?'" Source: A Night at the Hot Corner (Yes Network)"This is my best time of the year (spring training). Heck, once the season starts, I go to work.""Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else."Quotes About Brooks Robinson"Brooks (Robinson) never asked anyone to name a candy bar after him. In Baltimore, people named their children after him." - Gordon Beard"Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league." - Pete Rose"He can throw his glove out there and it will start ten double plays by itself." - Sparky Anderson"He charged everything. He reacted as the ball was coming off the bat, sometimes as it was coming to the bat!" - George Brett"He didn't look fast, in fact he was kinda slow, but he was always there. On double plays when he had to come a long way, he had this way of just rolling across the bag and flipping the ball under his arm. He was the best second baseman (Cuban Winter League) I have ever seen." - Orlanda Pena"He's not at his locker yet, but four guys are over there interviewing his glove." - Rex Barney to reporters looking to interview Brooks Robinson after the 1970 World Series"He was the best defensive player at any position. I used to stand in the outfield like a fan and watch him make play after play. I used to think WOW, I can't believe this." - Frank Robinson"How many interviews, how many questions - how many times you approached him and got only courtesy and decency in return. A true gentleman who never took himself seriously. I always had the idea he didn't know he was Brooks Robinson." - Joe Falls of the Detroit News"I don't see why you reporters keep confusing Brooks (Robinson) and me. Can't you see that we wear different numbers." - Frank Robinson"I don't think, in all the years I managed them, I ever spoke more than thirty words to Frank (Robinson) and Brooks Robinson." - Earl Weaver"I hope the car they (Sport Magazine who awarded it to the World Series MVP) give him (Brooks Robinson) has an extra large glove box." - Sparky Anderson"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"I will become a left-handed hitter to keep the ball away from that guy." - Johnny Bench"There's not a man who knows him who wouldn't swear for his integrity and honesty and give testimony to his consideration of others. He's an extraordinary human being, which is important, and the world's greatest third baseman of all time, which is incidental." - John Steadman of The News American"Very nice (play) . . . where do they plug Mr. Hoover in?" - Lee May"You know it's a crime for anybody to have as much fun as Robby's having . . . and making money for it." - Robin RobertsQuotes From & About Brooks Robinson     Did you know that Brooks Robinson won sixteen Gold Glove Awards (click link to see years)?
