Brooks Robinson Portrait photograph

Date1957 April 11

DescriptionA black-and-white portrait photograph of Brooks Robinson. Robinson, shown from the chest up, wears a Baltimore Orioles road jersey and baseball cap. Facing the camera, Robinson turns his head to his right, looking downwards and to a point to the left of the camera. A caption below the photograph (not shown), typed in black ink, reads, "BROOKS ROBINSON-ORIOLES (NY9-APRIL11) MAY MAKE IT- Rookie infielder Brooks Robinson stands good chance to become member of the Baltimore Orioles this season. Robinson, 19, hit .272 and had 74 runs batted in at San Antonio (Texas) in 1956. He is from Little Rock, Ark. (JWB50700stf). 57." A second copy of this photograph exists. This additional copy also depicts Robinson from the waist up, but shows a greater portion of Robinson's shoulders, rather than cropped at the brim of his cap. Pasted on the reverse of this image (not shown), typed in black ink, is the same caption as the other copy. Stamped on the reverse of this copy (not shown), in pink ink, are the phrases, "USED APR 12 1957 1st EDITION," and "APR 27 1957 1st EDITION."
