Nicknamed "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" or "Mr. Hoover", Brooks Robinson is considered one of the greatest defensive third basemen in major league history. He won 16 consecutive Gold Glove Awards during his career, tied with pitcher Jim Kaat for the second most all-time for any player at any position. Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.

Chuck Thompson was a sportscaster best known for his broadcasts of the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Colts. He was well-recognized for his resonant voice, crisply descriptive style of play-by-play, and signature on-air exclamations "Go to war, Miss Agnes!" and "Ain't the beer cold!" He was awarded the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford Frick Award in 1993.

This lot features (2) autographed books. They include:

"Putting it Together" - Signed "Best Wishes Brooks Robinson"

"Ain't the Beer Cold!" - Signed "Best wishes to the Chief Chuck Thompson HOF 93"

Both books include a Great Moments COA.
