THE DAY I MET BROOKS ROBINSON IN TAMPA.

I met Brooks Robinson in Tampa.  I drove from Orlando.  Brooks was a baseball player.  Maybe the best Third Baseman who ever lived.  He played for the Baltimore Orioles.

    That alone tells you how long ago that was when I met him.

    He was in the dugout at the Cincinnati Reds complex.  I was in the stands.  I asked Billy Hunter to tell Brooks I wanted his autograph and maybe speak to him.  Hunter walked over to Brooks who was sitting on the bench.  I saw Brooks nod.  And then I waited while Brooks finished reading a book.  We talked.
