Brooks is in Bradenton, Florida with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization for a few workouts and to celebrate 20 years of his Teammates for Kids foundation. The superstar started the organization 20 years ago to help support pediatric hospitals, sports and recreation for inner city kids, and educational opportunities for the less fortunate.
