Robinson has all the lifetime fielding stats at 3B a man could ever want, but they are impressive only for how long he could excel at third base. Boyer’s peak was much greater.
They both came up as teenaged glovemen, but Robby could hit a little bit even from the git-go, and got the chance to play regularly first, winning his first Gold Glove in 1960. It’s a truism that people what wins Gold Gloves gets to keep winning them, and that people who can also hit get favored (illogically enough) in the Gold Glove voting. (Actually, that’s partly logical, since if you can hit, you can stay in the lineup more and so can leave your good glove in games where a weak stick would have to come out.) Anyway, beginning the next season, 1961, they both played regularly at 3B in the AL for the next five seasons, Boyer averaging 140-odd games per year, and Robinson playing virtually every game.
In 1961, Boyer had a range factor (per 9 innings) of 3.78. Robinson had a RF/9 of 2.97. That meant that Boyer was making an extra play 4 games out of 5, but who got that Gold Glove in 1961? Robinson, that’s right.
In 1962, Boyer made 3.76 plays per 9 innings; Robinson 3.13. Gold Glove? Robinson.
In 1963, Boyer made 3.43 plays per 9 innings; Robinson 3.07. Gold Glove? Robinson.
In 1964, Boyer made 3.31 plays per 9 innings; Robinson 2.97. Gold Glove? Robinson.
In 1965, Boyer made 3.45 plays per 9 innings; Robinson 3.13. Gold Glove? Robinson.
Now in 1966 Boyer also edged Robinson (3.80 to 3.06) but Robinson might have warranted the Gold Glove because Boyer played third base for only 85 games—because the Yankee shortstop (Kubek) got hurt and they moved Boyer over to play shortstop! That’s another sign of fielding genius, by the way—the number of games someone can play at a more difficult position—Boyer had 186 games at shortstop lifetime, and Robinson had 5. Boyer finally won a Gold Glove in 1969, when playing in the National League—Robinson, as you know, won 16 consecutive Gold Gloves, the last few when he was in a wheelchair and legally blind.
Both men’s range factors, btw, were simply spectacular, well above the league average year after year. But Boyer didn’t just edge Robinson out some years–every year his range was much greater than Robinson’s, by about the amount that Robinson’s RF/9 was better than a poor-to-average AL third baseman’s. That’s a lot of plays Boyer was making that Robinson was not. In a fair world, Robinson would have been the AL All-Star thirdbaseman, no question, while Boyer took home the Gold Gloves. In this debased, corrupt, shitty world, however, Robinson got the gold.
The ballot for right fielders is up!
