Brooks Robinson, the 18th time All-Star and 16 time Gold Glove MVP, Hall of Famer, and mainstay of a great decade of Baltimore baseball, has died. He was 86.
Robinson's era predates my arrival into baseball fandom, but I'm very aware of his epic defense at the Hot Corner. He's often ranked as one of, if not the, greatest third baseman in history.
I personally give that honor to Mike Schmidt, but I wouldn't fault you for naming Brooks.
RIP sir.
