Brooks Robinson, nicknamed Mr. Hoover and the Human Vacuum Cleaner, was an American third baseman who played his entire 23-year Major League Baseball career with the Baltimore Orioles, from 1955 to 1977. He is generally considered the greatest defensive third baseman in major league history, an 18-time All-Star who won 16 consecutive Gold Glove Awards, the most by a position player. His 2,870 career games at third base remain the most by any player at a single position. In the 1970 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds his defensive play drew wide attention, and he won the World Series MVP Award as Baltimore won in five games. He died in 2023.
