Robin Yount

Robin Yount was a two-time American League Most Valuable Player who became the 17th player to collect 3,000 career hits and the Brewers' all-time leader in nearly every offensive department. He ranked among baseball's elite in at bats, games, and doubles, and was one of only three players to earn MVP honors at two different positions. One of the youngest players to break into the majors, he was the first shortstop to lead the A.L. in slugging and total bases in the same season, the first shortstop to bat .300 with 20+ homers and 100+ RBI in the same season, and he earned a Gold Glove as a shortstop. He was the only player ever to have a pair of four-hit games in a World Series, a three-time All-Star, and the top vote getter in 1983. He was named the A.L. Player of the Decade for the 1980's, the Brewers retired his uniform number 19 in 1994, and he was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1999. Over a 20-year playing career, he compiled a .285 average, 2,856 games, 11,008 at bats, 1,632 runs, 3,142 hits, 583 doubles, 126 triples, 251 home runs, 1,406 RBI, 966 walks, 1,350 strikeouts, and 271 stolen bases.
