Nicknamed "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" or "Mr. Hoover", Brooks Robinson is
considered one of the greatest defensive third basemen in major league
history. He won 16 consecutive Gold Glove Awards during his career, tied
with pitcher Jim Kaat for the second most all-time for any player at
any position. Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983.
John "Boog" Powell was with the Orioles’ World Series Champion teams in
1966 and 1970, the American League Champion teams in 1966, 1969, 1970
and 1971, and the American League East Division Champion teams in 1969,
1970, 1971, 1973 and 1974. The 4-time All-Star won the American League's
Most Valuable Player award in 1970 and in 1964 posted a .606 slugging
percentage to lead the American League. He batted left-handed and threw
right-handed, playing first base, outfield, and designated hitter.
