Brooks Robinson had one of the most dominant World Series performances ever

Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson died on Tuesday at the age of 86, inspiring countless tributes to one of the best third basemen in the history of baseball.

Robinson was not only arguably the greatest defensive third baseman baseball has ever seen, there is an argument to be made he is one of the greatest defensive players ever regardless of position, taking home 16 consecutive Gold Glove awards between the 1960 and 1975 seasons. 

He was also a stellar hitter and put all of those skills together during the 1970 World Series where he had one of the most dominant World Series showings of any player in the fall classic. 

During that series, which the Orioles won in five games, Robinson went 9-for-21 at the plate (.429) with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored.

When he was not dominating at the plate, he was also showing off his defensive brilliance by shutting down several Reds rallies with his glove.

His best play was this incredible play down the line to rob Lee May of what should have been extra bases.
