Brooks Robinson Diving for a Catch photograph

Datebetween 1966 and 1970

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length action photograph of Brooks Robinson diving for a catch. Robinson, shown in profile, wears a Baltimore Orioles uniform. Having just dived for the ball, Robinson lays on his stomach on the baseline. With both legs bent and lifted off the ground, Robinson places only his right forearm on the ground. Robinson holds his gloved right hand off the ground head height, indicating that the catch was successful. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Robinson, this image was captured between 1966, when Baltimore introduced socks with one stripe and only the head of the Oriole for the team logo, and 1970, the final year they wore this style.
