"We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Brooks Robinson," his family and the Baltimore Orioles said in a joint statement. "An integral part of our Orioles Family since 1955, he will continue to leave a lasting impact on our club, our community, and the sport of baseball."

Robinson made 18 All-Star appearances over a 23-year career spent exclusively in Baltimore, and was a member of the franchise's 1966 and 1970 World Series championship teams.

Robinson won 16 consecutive Gold Gloves (1960-75) and started 15 straight All-Star Games at third base (1960-74).

Robinson was also one of the best clutch hitters of his time, amassing 2,848 hits, 268 home runs and 1,357 RBIs. He was named AL MVP in 1964 after hitting .317 with 118 RBIs -- both career highs.

Legendary.
