Date1960 September 18

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length action photograph of Brooks Robinson colliding with Ron Hansen. Captured in-game, both players, trying for the same ball, wear a Baltimore Orioles uniform. Robinson, front, standing with feet apart and knees bent, leans forward. Looking down to the ground, Robinson clutches his right hand to his chest while his gloved left hand rests on his thighs. Hansen, back, connecting with Robinson, leans forward over Robinson's back. Hansen stands on his bent left leg, his right leg, that is bent at the knee, is raised off the ground. The ball that both players are trying to capture can be seen, in the photograph, to the left of the players' at knee height. Pasted on the reverse (not shown), a clipping of the published newspaper caption, typed in black ink, reads, "COLLISION-Orioles' Brooks Robinson (front) drops Roger Maris' pop fly as Ron Hansen, also trying for the ball, crashes into him in fifth inning yesterday. Robin-son was charged with an error." Stamped on the reverse (not shown), in purple ink, is the date, "SEP 18 1960."
