Today I received a package I had mailed to Brooks Robinson to have him sign a couple magazines I picked up recently.  Mr Robinson signed my 1967 Maco Baseball Guidebook and a June, 1972 Sport magazine.  On the Sport, he signed it in a darker area and while it did not turn out the best, it was fine by me.  What makes this noteworthy is that Mr Robinson included a note basically apologizing for how it turned out and that I could send something to him and he would sign for free.  What a classy move.  Of all the players I have ever met in a signing or otherwise situation, Brooks and Harmon Killebrew are both far and away the nicest men I have met.  This just reinforces the class that Mr Robinson shows.  I will send him a baseball but I will also include a note and donation in the near future.  I am not going to expect him to sign something for free for me.  I am excited to add these magazines and will look for other items for him to sign down the road.  Thanks Brooks!
