RIP: Brooks Robinson

Baseball lost one of its legends today with the passing of Brooks Robinson.  He was 86 years old.

Signed in 1955, Robinson played all 18 of his MLB seasons with the Baltimore Orioles.  Initially playing at Second Base, Robinson was moved to Third Base, where he would become the finest defensive player at his position, winning 16 Gold Gloves.  Robinson was named an All-Star 18 times, and won the National League MVP in 1964.  He would also lead the Orioles to World Series Titles in 1966 and 1970.

Although Robinson is mostly known for his glove, Robinson was a very good hitter, collecting 2,848 Hits, with 268 Home Runs and 1,367 Runs Batted In. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Brooks Robinson.
