Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson has died at the age of 86. Robinson spent his entire 23-year career in Baltimore, where he won two World Series and was a 15-time All-Star.
"We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson," his family and thesaid in a joint statement."An integral part of our Orioles Family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on our club, our community, and the sport of baseball."
Robinson won 16 consecutive Gold Gloves and was an 18-time All-Star who started 15 straight All-Star Games at third base . He was known as"The Human Vacuum Cleaner" for his adept play at the hot corner. The 16 total Gold Gloves are second only to pitcher Greg Maddux for most won by a player at one position.
"Brooks Robinson belongs in heaven, not here on the ground, because of the way he plays third base," Anderson said. Robinson is third all-time in career defensive WAR at 39.1 behind shortstops Ozzie Smith and Mark Belanger , who was Robinson's teammate for 13 years with the Orioles. Robinson said"every cent" of the proceeds was to go to the Constance and Brooks Robinson Foundation for distribution to worthy causes.
