1965 Topps #150 Brooks Robinson
About Brooks Robinson
Three 1965 cards all trace back to the 1964 MVP season, the best of Robinson's career: .317 with 194 hits, 28 home runs and a league-leading 118 RBIs, a torrid .464 September and a fifth consecutive Gold Glove. That RBI title puts him on the American League leaders card at #5, alongside Dick Stuart, Mickey Mantle and Harmon Killebrew. His .317, second in the league behind Tony Oliva's .323, puts him on the batting leaders card at #1 with Oliva and Elston Howard. His own card is #150 in the second series. All three are ordinary-series cards, with no high numbers or semi-highs among them, and none is his rookie card.
Brooks Calbert Robinson Jr. spent his entire 23-year career (1955-1977) at third base for the Baltimore Orioles, the club that signed him out of Little Rock, Arkansas for $4,000 in 1955. Lee May tagged him the Human Vacuum Cleaner during the 1970 World Series, and he is generally regarded as the greatest fielding third baseman in major-league history: an 18-time All-Star across 15 straight seasons (1960-1974) and the winner of 16 consecutive Gold Gloves (1960-1975), the most by any position player. He still holds the career records for a third baseman in putouts, assists, total chances and double plays. He was the American League Most Valuable Player in 1964, batting .317 with 28 home runs and a league-best 118 RBIs, and he anchored Baltimore's rise to four AL pennants and two World Series titles, in 1966 and 1970. His glovework in the 1970 Series against Cincinnati, where he robbed the Reds again and again while batting .429, earned him the Series MVP award. He finished with a .267 average, 2,848 hits, 268 home runs and 1,357 RBIs, all in Baltimore -- a single-franchise run since matched only by Carl Yastrzemski. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1983 on the first ballot, named on 92 percent of the ballots.
