About This Item
New York: Julian Messner, 1967 Illustrated with photographs. First edition, first printing. Inscribed by Brooks Robinson on front free endpaper: "To Tim, Tom + Jeff / Best of luck to my good friends. See you at the ballpark again. Brooks Robinson." Publisher's yellow cloth, with geometric decoration in black to front board and spine, and lettered in black to spine. Good or better book, with some soiling to cloth, a touch of fading to spine, part of decoration on front board colored in with black pen, some splitting to cloth at foot of spine, corners lightly rubbed, light tape residue to front and rear pastedowns, and light soiling to title page. Overall, a title scarcely found inscribed. Brooks Robinson, nicknamed Mr. Oriole, is arguably the greatest Oriole ever, playing all 23 of his MLB seasons with the team. In that time, he earned eighteen All-Star selections, sixteen Gold Glove Awards (tied with Jim Kaat for second all-time) and won two World Series titles (1966, 1970). Oriole historian Ted Patterson stated, "Never has a player meant more to a franchise and more to a city than Brooks has meant to the Orioles and the city of Baltimore." In 1999, Robinson earned a spot on the prestigious MLB All-Century Team.. Signed by Author(s). First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good.
