1971 Topps World Series Game 2 ⭐ Brooks Robinson
On October 11, 1971, Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles set a World Series record by reaching base five consecutive times against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Robinson’s exploit helped Baltimore to an 11 – 3 win in Game 2 of the World Series.

There have been various ‘stand-up’ type sets over the past century, where the players can be brought to life, but this set combines vivid colors with some great photography. Last time I checked Brooks still has the best defensive stats at 3B all-time…

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.
