I don't know that there was ever a better left side of the infield defensively than Belanger/Brooks Robinson. Ironically, the only two I can think of which might have come close played in the same era: Kessinger/Santo for the Cubs and Oyler/Wert for the Tigers.
As you probably know, Wert was almost as bad with the bat as Oyler. But he did have power.

I was born in 1958. The mid 60s to mid 70s Os were IT!
Then when we had Eddie Murray and Cal, I got into again, just a bit more jaded though.
