Pie Traynor If would be safe to say that any of these players could be called baseball's most famous third baseman.
mike schmidt is the best third baseman of all time. 10 golden gloves , 12 mvps, 548 homeruns. nuff said
schmidt was MVP of the NL only 3 times. he was selected as an all-star 12 times. he is certainly one of the top 5 third basemen of all time, and arguably the best in his generation.
Most often you'll get a response of Babe Ruth especially by the stat prone;informed baseball people know Roberto Clemente is the best all around athlete to play that position in the 'modern era'. There's simply not enough profit$$$ in promoting Clemente and until Latinos become the 'money demographic' (don't hold your breath) you'll continue to get Ruthian exaltation
As of the 2008 season, Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles is the third baseman that has won the most Gold Gloves with 16.
a-rod probly
Wrong. A-Rod played as a SS through 2003.
The answer as of 12/5/11 is Mike Schmidt. 509 of his 548 career HR came as a third baseman.
I think Mike Schmidt was the best all around third baseman, but we can't leave out Brooks Robinson and Clete Boyer as the best feilding third basemen..!

What are two outs in once baseball game?
When the defensive team in baseball, gets two players out in one play, it is called a double play. This usually occurs when the ball is hit between the second and third base. The short stop between the second and third base throws the ball to the second baseman, who gets the runner from first base out. Then the second baseman throws the ball to the first baseman, who gets the hitter out. There are other ways that a double play can occur, however, this is the most common way.
What is the best infielders baseball glove?
This is much more simple and accurate compared to answer below: On higher levels - middle infielders (ss & 2nd) they will typcially stay with a size range of 11.25in - 12in depending on players preference. - 3rd basemen will range between 11.75in - 12.25 with 12in being most common size. - 1st basemen have mitts, not gloves. The mitts are measured in circumference and not length. They range from 12.5 - 13in Well it is generally dependent on the size of the hand. A first basemen will want to wear a tall (long) glove with a large web (glove's pocket, usually weaved) when they play that position. However a second, third baseman, or shortstop should all wear a smaller glove, allowing them to quickly find the ball in their glove and release it. The sizes for middle infielders (second baseman and shortstop) will have an average of a size between 9 inches and 12 inches. A third baseman will have an average of 10 to 13 inches. A first baseman should have a much larger glove, some going to 20 inches or more. Answer above is correct and incorrect. Middle Infielders in organized baseball ages 12yrs and older will more than likely use an 11 - 11.75inch gloves. 3rd basemen, 11.5 - 12inch. And 1st basemen usually between 12.5 - 13inch. There are no such thing as 20inch or more gloves!!! Catchers mitts use 32inch and up but are measured in circumference, while gloves and 1st basemen mitts measure in length.
