1970 Topps, Brooks Robinson

Card No. 230

If it isn't the 16 career Gold Gloves earned during his Hall of Fame career, surely the nickname "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" would give you a solid indication of Brooks Robinson's level of prowess at third base....Another beauty from Dad's boyhood card collection here....Robinson's rookie card is part of the 1957 Topps set....His 'farewell' Topps card was among the '77 checklist....Finished 7th in A.L. MVP voting following '70 season that saw him clout 18 homers and drive in 94 runs for Baltimore.
