He was undoubtedly the most dominating second baseman of the 80's. As you see above, he won nine straight Gold Gloves. He was also a member of 10 straight All-Star teams and ranks first all-time for home runs by a second baseman with 277. He also has a higher career batting average than Hall of Fame second baseman Joe Morgan.

Not HOF numbers?
