Brooks Calbert Robinson (May 18, 1937-) is generally considered to be the greatest defensive third baseman in the history of baseball. He was selected to 18 straight All-Star appearances from 1960-1974, won the 1964 American League Most Valuable Player award, and was the second recipient of the Roberto Clemente Award as “best exemplifying the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to his team.” Brooks played his entire 23-year career with the Baltimore Orioles, helping them to four American League pennants and two World Series championships (1966, 1970). He was voted the 1970 World Series Most Valuable Player after batting .583 during the ALCS against the Minnesota Twins and a continuing his hot hitting during the Fall Classic, batting .429 against the Cincinnati Reds. Robinson’s acrobatic and athletic plays at the hot corner led to his records of most career game at third (2,870), career putouts (2,670), career assists (6,205) career chances (8,902) and double plays (618) at the time of his retirement. Brooks Calbert Robinson was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983. Frank Robinson (August 31, 1935 - February 7, 2019) was a threat in every aspect of the game, stealing bases, blasting home runs and robbing batters of potential hits with defensive plays. Easily capturing the 1956 Rookie of the Year Award after hitting .290 with 122 runs and a rookie-record 38 home runs, the Reds star never looked back. Playing primarily for the Cincinnati Reds (1956-1965) and the Baltimore Orioles (1966-1971), Robinson established himself as one of the game’s fiercest competitors. Robinson was twice the recipient of the league Most Valuable Player Award winning the 1961 National League title with the Reds and the 1966 American League honor with the Orioles. In the 1966 campaign, Robinson also captured the AL Triple Crown with 49 home runs, 122 RBI and a .316 batting average. Frank Robinson was a 14-time All-Star selection, two-time World Series champion (1966, 1970) and won a Gold Glove in 1958. In 1975, Frank Robinson became the first African-American manager in major league baseball when he led the Cleveland Indians. Robinson retired with 2,943 hits, 586 home runs, 1,812 RBI, 204 stolen bases and a career .294 batting average. Frank Robinson was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982. Henry Albert "Hank" Bauer (July 31, 1922 – February 9, 2007) enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps one month after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He contracted malaria on Guadalcanal and was injured twice in 32 months of combat, also earning 11 campaign ribbons. He returned to the States after the war, and signed a minor league contract with the Yankees. He worked his way through the system, and made his major league debut in September, 1948. Hank Bauer played 14 major league seasons, 1948-1959 with the Yankees and 1960-1961 with the Kansas City Athletics. Bauer was a hard-nosed right fielder who won seven World Series championships in New York, and retired from the game as a three-time All-Star with a .277 career batting average, 164 home runs and 7003 RBI. Hank Bauer had three managerial stints in the major leagues, with the Kansas City Athletics (1960–1961), Baltimore Orioles (1964–1968) and Oakland Athletics (1969).
