Hall of Fame Third Basemen


Frank "Home Run" Baker earned his nickname due to four home run titles and two game winning long balls during the 1911 World Series. Did you know that his bat weighed fifty-two ounces which is twenty ounces higher than today's average?

Mike Schmidt's offensive numbers are unprecedented and often overshadow his skill with the glove. Do you remember how many Gold Glove Awards he won?

Brooks Robinson set the standard for defensive greatness at third base. He finished his career with league leading records at third base for assists, chances, double plays, fielding percentage, games played and putouts.
