50 years ago Brooks Robinson was a Mountie

In 1959 Brooks Robinson was sent down to Vancouver Mounties to get more experience. With Vancouver was Wayne Causey who the Baltimore Orioles signed in 1955 as a higher thouht of prospect for 3rd base than Robinson. Robinson sustained an injury during a play at Capilano Stadium that almost ended his caeer. Robinson was able to recover from the injury and rejoined the Orioles after the All Star break. The Cap to the Nat will recount how Robinson sustained the injury.
