Me, too. Never at the yard when he was there, not quite old enough to remember him on the field. But a life of so many stories about Brooks, from family and friends and hearing him on the radio, etc.. leaves me feeling like I lost a personal friend. Well, similar, anyways. Losing a hero is a lot like losing a friend, in a way. Out of all the Orioles, he's the man I most wanted to have a cold one with.
I thought about Brooks so much when we first got Manny. And was crushed when they traded him, although watching Manny in the World Series gave me the opposite kind of feelings. He damn sure didn't display The Oriole Way with the Dodgers during that World Series.
Gunnar looks really good on third, though. In my opinion he's better at third than he is at short. And he'll only get better and better.
This has been the best season of Orioles baseball since '83 (in my opinion). And that's about the extremity of my personal memories of baseball.
What a year! And it ain't over yet!
Go O's!
