After a game in 2013 where Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was charged with an error, he voiced his displeasure on the scoring. 'I would never complain about a play, but that's not an error,' he told reporters. 'I don't know if they have Brooks Robinson as a scorekeeper here or what.'
After a game in 2013 where Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman was charged with an error, he voiced his displeasure on the scoring. “I would never complain about a play, but that’s not an error,” he told reporters. “I don’t know if they have Brooks Robinson as a scorekeeper here or what.”
He was that and more. The Brooks Robinson legacy will likely be one of the storylines of the American League Division Series starting Saturday in Baltimore, with the Orioles facing the Texas Rangers. That same day, just a few blocks away from Camden Yards, the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum will open a new exhibit to commemorate the career and legacy of the Hall of Fame third baseman.
“You heard how consistent he was and how good of a teammate he was,” Zimmerman said. “They would talk about how normal he made ridiculous plays at third base look. Sixteen Gold Gloves — to do something at that high a level for so long and to be respected by your peers, I don’t know if there will ever be anyone who will get close to that again.
If you were a young baseball fan in Washington in the early days of the franchise, you knew very well about Ryan Zimmerman. He didn’t embarrass himself over the Bowden comparison, becoming an All-Star third baseman who won a Gold Glove at the position in 2009. “That’s one of the things I’m most proud of,” he said.
“I moved over to first and got better and better there to the point where I was a pretty good first baseman,” Zimmerman said.” But to be honest, to wonder what if I had played 15 or 20 years at third base and see what happened, of course I think of that. I loved playing third base and took a lot of pride in it. … I really loved playing that position.”
