Maybe the best defensive 3rd baseman ever.

before my time but he was the star of rain delay theater on channel 9 games back in the day. I knew as many Orioles and Reds as I did Cubs and Sox

That was always Murph's contention.

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:
