Palmer and Robinson were Orioles teammates from 1965-77.
“When you get to the big leagues, you gotta get here, you gotta stay here, you gotta figure out how to get better, and then you gotta decide who you want to be like.
“For all of us who knew him, he was the best. Just the little things. Everywhere I’d go there would be an autographed ball and Brooks’ name would be on it … We all know how great a player he was — he won 16 Gold Gloves. But we also know how special a person he was.”Former Oriole Brooks Robinson poses for photos with former Orioles Cal Ripken Jr.
Palmer reiterated that he wanted to “emulate” Robinson, and spoke about how Robinson’s wife, Connie, treated his own wife — and those of other players — warmly. At the end of the segment, Palmer echoed the words of former Orioles first baseman Boog Powell, who said, “God I love that man.”
