87 years old (Born on May 18, 1937)
Happy Birthday, Brooks Robinson! They say age slows you down—but clearly they've never seen "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" snagging line drives at third base. Your glove was so legendary that baseballs practically surrendered mid-air rather than face your lightning-fast reflexes.From 18 All-Star appearances to dazzling plays in the '70 World Series—your highlights reel is longer than most players' careers. Even today, Orioles fans still whisper tales of your defensive wizardry with awe and admiration. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as you've given Baltimore over the years—and may no cake crumbs escape past you!
