Robinson was a fine defensive catcher, ending his career with a .990 fielding percentage. In 1953 only, the 'Aaron Robinson, MacGregor G176' catcher's mitt was produced. The 1948 trade between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox involving Robinson and Pierce has been cited as one of the more lopsided trades in baseball history, as Robinson had retired from baseball by 1951, whereas Pierce had a lengthy, productive career with the White Sox.
