Timeline

1956

Hubert "Hubie" Brooks (born September 24, 1956) is an American former professional baseball right fielder, third baseman, and shortstop.

1974

Brooks was drafted by the Montreal Expos as a senior at Manuel Dominguez High School in the 1974 Major League Baseball Draft but chose instead to attend Whittier College and stayed for 1975 through 1976 before transferring to Arizona State University.

1976

The ASU shortstop was drafted fifth overall in the January 1976 secondary draft by the Kansas City Royals, fourteenth overall in the June 1976 secondary draft by the Chicago White Sox, second overall in the January 1977 secondary draft by the Oakland Athletics, and again by the White Sox third overall in the June 1977 secondary draft; however, he did not sign with any team.

1977

With the Arizona State Sun Devils, Brooks appeared in two NCAA College World Series, winning in 1977.

1978

Brooks was selected third overall in the 1978 Major League Baseball draft by the New York Mets and went on to play for five different teams over a 15-year career, and was twice named an All-Star.

MLB pitcher Donnie Moore was Brooks' cousin.

After he played out his college career, he was drafted by the Mets third overall in the 1978 amateur draft, two selections behind ASU teammate Bob Horner.

Unlike Horner, who was assigned to the Atlanta Braves' major league roster upon signing, Brooks was assigned to the double A Jackson Mets, where he batted .216 with 3 home runs and 16 RBIs in 45 games.

The following season, with fellow Mets prospect Wally Backman playing short for Jackson, Brooks was converted to a third baseman.

1980

He played 15 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1980 to 1994 for the New York Mets, Montreal Expos, Los Angeles Dodgers, California Angels, and Kansas City Royals.

He also played some outfield with the triple A Tidewater Tides in 1980.

Brooks debuted as a September call-up in 1980.

In 24 games, Brooks batted .309 with 1 home run and 10 runs batted in.

1981

He won the starting job at third out of Spring training 1981 and quickly became a fan favorite, batting over .300 for most of the strike shortened season.

He finished the season at .307 with four home runs and 38 RBIs to finish third in National League Rookie of the Year voting behind Fernando Valenzuela and Tim Raines.

Given the Mets' historic instability at third base, Brooks remained popular in New York City despite being a below-average fielder and as power hitter.

(He tied a modern major league record by committing three errors in one inning his rookie season.)

1984

He set a Mets record with a 24-game hitting streak from May 1 to June 1, 1984; during this period, he batted .398 in 83 at-bats.

Montreal Expos shortstops batted .212 with no home runs and 35 RBIs in 1984.

Thus, the team went into the offseason looking to upgrade at that position.

On December 10, 1984, the Expos and Mets pulled off the blockbuster deal of the Winter Meetings when the Mets sent Brooks, pitcher Floyd Youmans, catcher Mike Fitzgerald, and outfielder Herm Winningham to the Expos for perennial All-Star catcher Gary Carter.

1985

Plugged into the clean-up spot in Montreal's batting order, Brooks blossomed into a Silver Slugger Award–winning shortstop in 1985.

He drove in a career-high 100 runs, which led the team and was second only to Cal Ripken Jr. among major league shortstops (110).

1986

Brooks was batting .333 with 14 home runs and 54 RBIs at the 1986 All-Star break to earn his first All-Star selection.

Five games after the break, however, he tore ligaments in his left thumb, ending his season.

He was named the NL's Silver Slugger at short for a second season in a row regardless of his time missed.

1987

Three games into the 1987 season, Brooks was again sidelined by injury, this time by a hairline fracture of his right wrist.

When he returned to the field, he resumed his role as the top slugging shortstop in the National League.

Despite having missed more than a month of play with his wrist injury, Brooks clubbed 7 home runs and drove in 30 runs to earn his second consecutive All-Star nod.

The game went into extra innings and was won by the National League when Brooks and Ozzie Virgil Jr. scored on Tim Raines' triple in the thirteenth inning.

1988

Following an injury to minor league outfield prospect Larry Walker playing winter ball, the Expos shifted Brooks to right field for the 1988 season.

Despite his disappointment with the situation, Brooks responded with one of his best offensive seasons, batting .279 with 90 RBIs and a career-high 20 home runs.

He spent one more season in right field for the Expos before departing via free agency.

1990

The Atlanta Braves expressed interest in signing Brooks and returning him to third base for the 1990 season.

However, Brooks ultimately opted to sign with his home team Los Angeles Dodgers and remain in right field.

His contract contained a clause that disallowed him to be traded back to the Expos or to any American League team except the California Angels.

Brooks batted .266 with 20 home runs and 91 RBIs in his only season with the Dodgers, after which he was traded back to the New York Mets for pitchers Greg Hansell and Bob Ojeda.

Brooks was unhappy about this trade, and it resulted in a poor performance on the field.

1999

(The record has since been tied by Mike Piazza in 1999 and broken by David Wright with 26 and Moisés Alou with 30 in 2007.) He was having his best season statistically—having already set career highs in home runs (13) and RBIs (61)—when the Mets acquired third baseman Ray Knight from the Houston Astros on August 28.

Brooks was subsequently shifted to short for the rest of the season by Mets manager Davey Johnson.
