Considered among the greatest all-time Orioles, Brooks Robinson was selected for the All-Star team in 15 consecutive years (1960-74) and played in four World Series.  He compiled a .267 career batting average with 2,848 hits, 268 home runs and 1357 runs batted in.  Robinson led the American League in fielding percentage a record 11 times, and at the time of his retirement, his .971 career fielding average was the highest ever for a third baseman. His totals of 2870 games played at third base, 2697 career putouts, 6205 career assists, 8902 career total chances and 618 double plays were records for third basemen at the time of his retirement. Robinson's 23 seasons with one team set a new major league record, since tied by Carl Yastrzemski

The Baltimore Orioles reached the pinnacle of their franchise success in the late 1960's and into the 1970's.  In the 1970 post-season, Robinson hit for a .583 batting average in the 1970 American League Championship Series against the Minnesota Twins.  In the 1970 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds, Robinson had a .429 batting average with 2 home runs; however, it was his defensive prowess at third base that stood out, making several impressive plays during the series that robbed the Reds of apparent base hits. His performance won him the World Series MVP Award presented by SPORT, as well as the Hickok Belt as top professional athlete of the year.
