White Sox and Joe Crede
Congratulations to the White Sox ? World Series
Champions. Everyone keeps asking me what
I think about Joe Crede. I think Joe
Crede is probably like most of the White Sox players – not many had heard of
any of these guys before the World Series but after the Series people will be
looking at these guys and saying ?hey, those guys are terrific players.? Joe Crede is certainly one of those
players. I?ve been impressed with
him. He?s got a good short swing. He hits the ball to right field and left
field and makes some great plays in the field. After this series, everyone will know who Joe Crede is. He?s had a terrific post season and I wish him
the best.
WHAT I?M UP TO:
I was just in Bordentown, NJ for an appearance over the weekend. I?ll
be in Chantilly, Virginia for Collector?s Showcase (www.csashows.com) on November 6th
along with Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken. It should be a great time. I?m
doing a big signing for my website (www.brooksrobinson.com). I give the proceeds to charities. It is a great way to help with the requests I
get and makes everyone a winner. I have
a busy December planned, too. I?ll be
doing my annual Norman Rockwell appearances for Olllie?s Bargain Outlet (www.olliesbargainoutlet.com). You can always check my website for an update
on appearances.
Brooks Robinson's Hot Corner 
Brooks,
Everytime Joe Crede made a great play at third during the Series, it reminded me of you in 1970. I think that’s why everyone’s asking you about him.
One grounder did get by him, so you are till the Human Vacuum Cleaner!
Dear Brooks,
Hi again from Spring Grove, sorry that I was not able to attend either of your Rockwell signings in Baltimore at the Ollies stores,I truly wished that I could have made one of them. However, although not baseball related, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your’s a very Merry Christmas, and the Happiest of New Years. I’m certain that I will have other opportunities to see, and talk to you this coming year, I guess I can make that a New Years resolution!!!!. That’s one I can look forward to. Take care Brooks, and I hope that the New Year has all good things in store for you.
