1957 Topps #328, Brooks Robinson RC.
Brooks Robinson was my favorite infielder growing up.
Known as “The Human Vacuum Cleaner,” he built his legendary career with the Baltimore Orioles through unmatched defensive brilliance at third base, winning 16 Gold Gloves. He was also a clutch hitter, earning the 1964 AL MVP and shining brightest in the 1970 World Series, where his remarkable plays earned him Series MVP honors. Gritty, durable, and respected, Robinson spent 23 seasons with the Orioles, embodying loyalty and excellence while cementing his place as one of the greatest third basemen in baseball history.
