    Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson suffered a broken clavicle after falling about six to eight feet off the back of a stage at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

    The 74-year-old had been sitting on the elevated stage at a pre-event dinner for the Joe DiMaggio Legends Game on Friday night, the Palm Beach Post reported Saturday. There was a curtain at the back of the stage but no wall or support behind it.

    "After all the interviews were done, he leaned back thinking there was a wall behind the curtain, but there was no wall," said Johnny Elias, a retired bullpen catcher for the Montreal Expos.
