Robinson spent his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles playing from 1955 to 1977. The 1964 American League Most Valuable Player appeared in 18 All-Star games during his career, starting 11 of them. At the conclusion of his career, the Orioles retired his number 5 in 1977.
Over the years, he earned the nickname of “The Human Vacuum Cleaner” and there is no wonder why. He won 16 Gold Gloves for being the best defensive third baseman in the American League. He played in four different World Series’ for the Orioles, helping them win the series in 1966 and 1970 and though he wasn’t known for his hitting, he batted .263 in 21 World Series games with 3 homers and 14 RBI. In 1970 he was named the Most Valuable Player in the World Series for helping the Orioles defeat the Cincinnati Reds in five games.
Whitaker, the Senators new General Manager, will be on hand to answer questions about the coming Senators season, and to hand out prizes. Whitaker was recently at the Winter Meetings in Nashville, and you can read all about his experience in his blog at http://www.senatorsbaseball.com/.
