I was lucky enough to see him play at Memorial Stadium several times, he was my first favorite player. Mark Belanger was also a defensive beast on that team.
The great thing about that play? It was in the 1970 World Series. Robinson made quite a few fielding gems in that series, that one was his best of all. He was also MVP in the 1970 World Series.
Yes, I recall those comments on arm strength, but I think you gotta have it to do that throw while falling backwards . The ball always got to first just in time . I don’t ever remember him getting beat by a runner.

Man, I know I’m old if I can identify the playing surface and the old style uniforms 😅
I'd tear myself in half, trying to do that.

One of the goats of third base. Great all around player awhile had few peers.
Dude was running slow as hell as well😅😅
Before speed was the key to running bases 😅
They called him the Mr. Hoover and The Human Vacuum Cleaner!
Tie goes to the runner 😂
Brooks was the coldest at third base. Not many got passed him. Many a golden gloves. In his trophy case.😅
I saw both. Only Scott Rolen can match Brooks
HIM AND NETTLES THEY WERE OUTSTANDING PERIOD
I bet that's the flippin' '71 WS with the Reds/O's.
The GOAT
It looks like during the catch, transfer, and throw, the video goes from slow motion to regular speed then back to slow motion.

The human vacuum cleaner was something back then.
Brett and Schmidt were better
The best 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤😂😂😂😂
The human the vacuum 😮
Safe!!!
The 1970 World Series made Brooks Robinson a legend. It didn’t hurt that Lee May, slowest player on the Reds, hit into all those web gems.
Slowest runner on earth
Brook Robinson was the best 3rd baseman of all time.
Tie goes to the runner
Runner is slow as shit
No one had ever covered the hot corner like Brooks.
Brooks! A classic! The best!!! Grew up watching him play 3rd.
I love that the umpires look like they’re from the 1880s….
AI bullshit
One of the greatest plays ever in the world series
Lee May should have taken the piano off his back.
They called him the vacuum cleaner !
Those World Series games between the Orioles and Reds showcased Robinson's defensive skills.
Hitter was Lee May, the big bopper from Birmingham
Your explanation is very impressive This deserves recognition.
The first baseman"s foot was off the bag.
To those who never saw brooks that think Mike Schmidt was the best !
