Of course I wish he really did have a card this year; would have been cool. I like that you used my picture of Brooks at spring training for the background for the card (Unsure what the picture relates to. Possibly advertising the sneakers or the bank). The sneakers look really out of place so that's what I'm leaning toward. <br /><br />I know the fielding pose you used was on cover of the book "The Brooks Robinson Story" by Jack Zanger. I also have a press/wire photo of this shot as well (somewhere...)<br /><br />Personally I would of picked a different portrait picture of Brooks, but like the one you used from I believe '64. There's several other early pics from his rookie era, but that's just my humble opinion since he looked like a kid coming up to the bigs (of course he was...).<br /><br />Thanks so much for creating the Brooksie card!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Mark Mark70Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260847303929498707noreply@blogger.com
