Good day all!
On the blog today, we spotlight another card from my 1960 "Stars of the Game" custom gelatin set, this one Brooks Robinson:

In 1958 he’d play his first full season in the Big Leagues, and it was all cruise control
from there, as the great third baseman would go on to grab 16 Gold
Gloves, an MVP Award in 1964, appear in 15 All-Star games, and help
guide the Baltimore Orioles to two Championships and four A.L. Pennants.
By the time he hung up that golden glove after the 1977 season, he finished with 2848 hits, 1357 runs batted in, 268 home runs and 1232 runs scored in 2896 games.
Needless to say, by the time Cooperstown came calling, he was voted in on his first try, receiving 92% support in 1983.
