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.
This Rawlings Gold Glove Award baseball has been signed in blue by
Robinson and inscribed "16 x Gold Glove." This ball includes a Brooks Robinson hologram.
