He was such a great fielder.

Great shortstop on the perennially strong Orioles of the 60’s.

Those late 60’s early 70’s Orioles were so fun to watch. All great teams!

You are correct. Aparicio was the regular SS in 1967 and Belanger was the regular SS starting in 1968.

Love the flannel uniforms…paired with Davey Johnson, what a middle infield…🙏🏼⚾️💙

A key element of those great fielding Orioles teams of the late sixties and the seventies. That infield was airtight!

“The Blade”!

He usually had a lower batting average but he did hit as high as .287 one season early in his career. But yeah, his fielding was so great that Weaver kept him in the lineup. Few could match his fielding ability.
