Robinson Named Player Coach For Orioles
Brooks Robinson, a 16time Gold Glove third baseman, will stay with the Baltimore Orioles as a player coach next season. He said at a news conference he hopes to be more of a player than a coach in 1977 and plans to finish his career in Baltimore. Robinson, 43, has spent 22 seasons with the Orioles since joining in 1955 and earned Gold Gloves from 1960 through 1975.
