Quote of the day: Boog Powell on Brooks Robinson

Former Baltimore Orioles first baseman Boog Powell on the glove work of teammate and Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson during the 1970 World Series against Cincinnati:

“He did stuff like that, and he did better stuff over the course of the year. I’ve always maintained that if Brooks Robinson had been playing at Yankee Stadium in New York, I think he could have run for President. He was that special.”
