I’d vote Tris Speaker or Brooks Robinson...IIRC Brooks Robinson was 3B.

You are correct. Brooks was a 3rd baseman, probably the best ever.

Yes, and Speaker was Center Field.
It said, best defensive player ever, not best defensive shortstop.
For that I'd take the Wizard of Oz, or Belanger who played exclusively on natural turf.

Brooks played third and said the reason he made the hall of fame was he only had to play three square feet with belanger beside him
