BALTIMORE -- As the Orioles inch closer to losing a cornerstone of their organization in shortstop Manny Machado, on Saturday night they announced a major addition: the return of Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson.
Robinson, one of six retired Orioles numbers hanging above Camden Yards' outfield, will return to his beloved team as a special adviser, effective immediately. The decorated third baseman, who spent his entire 23-year career with Baltimore, will not deal with the baseball side of things. Instead, he'll be more focused on community events and trying to promote the club and Baltimore baseball.
