The annual Brooks Robinson High School All-Star Baseball Game returns on Wednesday, July 1, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore.

A Legacy That Endures

This will be the third all-star game played since the death of its namesake, Baltimore Orioles legend and National Baseball Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson, who passed away in September 2023 at age 86. Meeting Robinson was always one of the biggest draws for the Maryland baseball stars fortunate enough to participate in the contest.

How Brooks Robinson Saved The Game

When Crown Central Petroleum launched its annual high school All-Star baseball game in 1982, it tabbed Robinson as its honorary chairman. The Orioles legend delighted generations of aspiring college and professional players by attending pregame press conferences and presenting awards following the game. Robinson appeared to have unlimited time for anyone and everyone who wanted to share a moment with him.

In 2004, when Crown pulled out of the contest and eventually went out of business, Robinson was called on to save the game, and he did.

Robinson contacted longtime friend Joe Geier of the Geier Financial Group, who promptly agreed to sponsor the game, which was first played at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium and then moved to Oriole Park when the major league team moved into their iconic downtown ballpark in 1992.

Geier had only one condition for his sponsorship, the game was renamed the Brooks Robinson High School All-Star Game and it has been going strong ever since.

On Tuesday, 40 players were announced to represent their schools in the annual Maryland high school All-Star Game, with 20 players each on the North and South rosters.
