A two-time American League Most Valuable Player, Robin Yount became the 17th player in major league history to collect 3,000 career hits and the third youngest to reach that milestone, behind only Ty Cobb and Henry Aaron. He was one of only three players in baseball history to win MVP honors at two different positions, joining Hall of Famers Stan Musial and Hank Greenberg. Yount led the Brewers in nearly every career offensive category, won the 1982 Gold Glove Award for American League shortstops, and after the 1989 season was named American League Player of the Decade by USA Today. After spending his entire twenty-year career with the Milwaukee Brewers, he retired on February 11, 1994, and the Brewers retired his uniform number on May 29, 1994.
