BALTIMORE (AP) -Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson says he has been successfully treated for prostate cancer.
The Orioles great revealed that he had the illness Tuesday during a luncheon for the American Cancer Society in Baltimore.
The 71-year-old Robinson says the disease was detected “very early” and he had 39 radiation treatments.
“I feel healthy and fine … ,” he said.
Considered one of the great fielders of all-time, Robinson spent 23 years in the Orioles organization, retiring in 1977. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.
