Though the pennant victory and World Championship for Baltimore was brought about by team effort, there were several standouts in the Orioles' victorious 1966 season. A new American League batting champ was the Orioles' Frank Robinson. The big outfielder batted .316 during the campaign, banged 49 home runs and drove in 122 runs. To cap a brilliant campaign, Frank was a stickout in the four game sweep of the 1966 World Series vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers. Baltimore's manager, Hank Bauer, is always quick to point out the virtues of the other Robinson boy. Third sacker Brooks Robinson played in 157 ballgames for the Orioles and once again showed his true value to the team. A brilliant gloveman, he has received the Gold Glove Award for fielding for six consecutive seasons. Brooks smacked 23 home runs last year.
