Brooks Robinson Portrait photograph

Datebetween 1955 and 1961

DescriptionA black-and-white portrait photograph of Brooks Robinson. Robinson, shown from the chest up, wears a Baltimore Orioles home jersey and baseball cap. Facing the camera, Robinson looks to his left, to a point in the distance and to the right of the camera. Based on the included background, this photograph was taken outdoors, most probably on the field, rather than in a professional photography studio. A caption below the image, typed in black ink, reads, "BROOKS ROBINSON THIRD BASEMAN BALTIMORE." Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Robinson, this image was captured between 1955, his first year with the team, and 1961, when this photograph was accessioned at the Hall.
