WAR PER SEASON
Such a great fielding shortstop that in 1972 when he batted .203 with just 105 hits on 156 games he finished ninth in American League Most Valuable Player voting. Brinkman looked like an accountant, he had scrawny arms and knobby knees, but he was one of the more brilliant defenders at his position. He won one Gold Glove award.
