Death of a childhood hero - Eddie Brinkman


I played baseball like my childhood hero, Eddie Brinkman: I had a great glove but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Eddie was typical of most shortstops of his era, and he earned the nickname "Steady Eddie" with his seemingly effortless infield play. The one-time Gold Glove winner died one week ago today in his hometown of Cincinnati.
