During an incredible run between 1960 and 1975 Robinson won the Gold Glove at his position every single year, while also making the All-Star team all but that last season of 1975.
I’ve always loved this photo of him surrounded by his Gold Gloves!
By the time this card would have come out, he was finishing up a Hall of Fame career of 23 seasons under the sun, and all of them with the Baltimore Orioles, for whom he led to two championships and four American League pennants.
In 1964 he took home the American League MVP Award, while finishing second to teammate Frank Robinson in 1966, who did nothing but win a Triple Crown as well.
His final numbers: over 2800 hits, 1300+ runs batted in, 1200+ runs scored and 268 homers, while striking out only 990 times in 11782 plate appearances.
And yet I still think he is under-appreciated!
