Triple Play Wallets

Immortalized by two dramatic World Series home runs, one in 1984 for the Detroit Tigers and another in 1988 for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kirk Gibson was noted for his competitiveness and clutch hitting. Plagued by injuries, he never lived up to the hype created by his manager, Sparky Anderson, when he referred to Gibson as “the next Mickey Mantle.” However, Gibson did combine blinding speed with power capable of producing tape-measure home runs. He played baseball as if he were in a football game.

Brooks Robinson, known as “The Human Vacuum Cleaner,” Robinson is regarded as the best defensive third-baseman the game has ever seen and winner of a record 16 consecutive Gold Glove Awards.

Joe Carter played from 1983 to 1998, most famous for hitting a walk-off home run to win the 1993 World Series, with the Toronto Blue Jays trailing 6-5 to the Philadelphia Phillies, just two outs away from a seventh game. His career stats: .259 BA, .306 OBP, 396 HR, 1,445 RBI, 231 SB.
