Ken Boyer was one of the greatest third basemen in baseball history. He won five Gold Glove Awards for his defensive abilities, was named to the National League All-Star team 11 times, and was the NL Most Valuable Player in 1964. "Between 1958 and 1964, he averaged 26 home runs, 101 RBIs, and had a .303/.372 /.500 batting line. He was 28 percent better than the league average offensively," wrote Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
