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 34" Louisville Slugger bat was made to commemorate Brooks Robinson being named the 1983 Humanitarian of the Year by United Cerebral Palsy of Central Maryland. It features a gold colored inlay and is numbered #30 of just 144 produced.
