After Brian Roberts played his first major league baseball game in nearly
13 months his long recovery from multiple concussions finally putting him
back in a big-league uniform he took off his jersey in the Orioles
clubhouse, autographed the back and handed it to one of the people who
helped him get through his arduous journey.
.
With a smile, Roberts handed his jersey to Dr. Michael "Micky" Collins,
the director of the Sports Medicine Concussion Program at the University
of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Collins has guided Roberts through each step
of his rehab and recovery and attended Roberts first game since May 16,
2011 on Tuesday at Camden Yards.
.
Hes been huge, Roberts said Wednesday. There have been a lot of people who
have been instrumental in the process, but besides my wife, I cant think
of anyone more instrumental than Dr. Collins was. Just the amount of time
he took, the amount of encouragement, his wisdom, all those things. I just
felt that for him to make the trip down here, hes meant a lot for me as a
friend and certainly a great doctor as well.
.
Collins said Roberts return is a major success story when it comes to
concussions. When he first began working with Roberts, the goal wasnt a
return to big leagues. It was making sure Roberts could live out his daily
life without suffering from concussion symptoms among them the headaches,
dizziness, nausea and fatigue that Roberts overcame during his recovery.

Its a hard injury for someone to go through. Everyone thinks, well 13
months is a long time, but actually Ive got to tell you, its a good
outcome.
.
To get him back to playing, not every athlete that goes through what Brian
went through gets back to playing. A lot of players whove gone through
what hes gone through have had to hang them up. He persevered through it.

Collins credited the Orioles training and medical staff as well as manager
Buck Showalter and executive vice president Dan Duquette for understanding
there was no manual to Roberts recovery.
