Maybe the best defensive 3rd baseman ever.

Yeah, I remember Murph complaining that Robinson was perceived to be better than Santo because he made a few unconscious plays on national TV.

Interesting factoid on Robinson: he has the most games in which his team won 1-0 and he drove in the run (8 times). And coincidentally, on the day he died, the Orioles won 1-0. :shock:
