Third baseman Brooks Robinson (b. 1937) was known as "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" for his outstanding ability to collect balls hit his way. Winning a record tying sixteen consecutive Gold Glove Awards as the best defenseman at his position, the native Arkansan played his entire Major League career with the Baltimore Orioles (1955-1977.)
An 18 time All-Star, Robinson won the American League Most Valuable Player award in 1964, a year he led the league with 118 runs batted in. The Orioles made four World Series appearances in Robinson's time with the team, winning two (1966 and 1970,) taking home World Series MVP honors in the latter.
