European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - August 31, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse August 1985 the stars and stripes Page 23 commentary opinions Are cheap Ever is forever opinions Are really no More than everybody Samuel the noted English satirist and essayist of the late victorian once pointed out the Public buys its opinions the Way it buys its meat and and its on the principle that its cheaper to do this than to keep the maybe that Why you have so Many of these Public opinion people like to express their some of those who saw Ken Griffey make that spectacular Superman grab to steal a Home run from Marty Barrett in the ninth inning of a recent game Between the Yankees and red sox Are claiming it was the greatest catch Ever is a Long but that their in All these its the undecideds or Fence straddles who never make much possibly because they dont leave themselves open to any argue with a Guy like Whitey its entirely the cardinals manager never hesitates anytime someone asks him who the Best shortstop he has Ever Ozzie without he Hes better than even Luis Aparicio and Mark Belanger and i saw both of Herzog int alone in his Jerry the padres broadcaster who had Smith the year he piloted san Diego in 1980 and who played second base for eight years alongside Phil Rizzuto when he was with the goes along with he says Smith is the Best shortstop he has Ever maybe the Best but hold on a Here comes another and it carries consid Erable because the Man providing Hall of Famer Brooks knows a Little something about he earned 16 Gold gloves for the Way he played third base 23 years with the Baltimore in Case you get the idea Hes a Little out of his territory talking about Hes because the orioles pressed him into action there also a few Ozzie Smith amazes Robinson but when it comes to Fielding the Ive never seen anybody better than Aparicio or and Clete Boyer had the Best hands Ive Ever seen on a third the most popular performer Ever to Wear a Baltimore never argued when he played and he Doest when he hears that her zog rates Smith Over both Aparicio and the orioles third baseman merely says Hes a Good i dont see How its humanly possible to catch a Ball any better than Aparicio or Ive Only seen Smith a few times and i think youve gotta see a lot of a if you play on astroturf or any of those other artificial surfaces As Smith does in you have to be a better fielder and a better that Means you also have to be a better but in sure Smith does very Well on grass Robinson is quite Happy now doing some of the orioles Road games for he works for the not the and he also stays close to the game by being part of a management corporation started by Ron Shapiro and him eight years some of the players they represent Are Eddie Mur Cal Lamarr Matt Jim Roger Clint hurdle and Wes could you possibly imagine Brooks Robinson Ever winding up a players agent i play a Cowkey role in the he its been Good and i find it enjoyable because it keeps me close to the players and that keeps me close to the Robinson Doest have the slightest desire to Man it never has even crossed my he during the 1977 when i was finishing up As a player coach with the Texas called me up and asked me whether i was interested in they had to have an answer in the next few hours and said they Call me i called my con and we talked it when they called i told them so the rangers hired another member of the Ori Billy As their if you want to know the i dont think Man aging is that Robinson but 1 care to do to the Best part of base Ball was playing it and when i stopped i lost a lot of interest in the Paul Richards was the Best manager he Ever Robinson and Earl Weaver runs the game i like he utilizes the 25 men he has better than any manager and he makes sure the 25th Man is part of the Hes an excellent manager and i think those stories about his ranting and raving arc in Joe Altobellis it was like Doug dec incas following Brooks no matter what he it want going to be Joe Altobelli never was going to fill Earl weavers shoes no matter How Good a manager he was and i thought he did a Good Joe managed under so much As he said to me before the season began i know its
