Robinson had a special relationship with the Revolution. He was an integral part of the investment group that made the ballpark possible."He would walk into this ballpark, and you would never have known he was a star. You would have never known he was in the Hall of Fame. In fact, sometimes he would walk in and start introducing himself to people, and I would be, like, 'Brooks, don't worry. They know who you are,'" Revolution president Eric Menzer said.
"I'd watch him with kids at the concourse. He never said no to an autograph, never said no to a photo, never acted like it was a big deal at all," he said.File video below: Robinson's jersey number retired
