I think it has to be the Orioles of the Early 70's
Powell
Grich
Belanger
Robinson
You have 3 Gold Glove winners on one infield.

Probably yeah.
The 1982 Cardinals would be in the discussion for the #2 spot.
1B Keith Hernandez
2B Tommy Herr
SS Ozzie Smith
3B Ken Oberkfell

I remember playing the old Sports Illustrated All-Star Baseball* board game as a kid. The defensive ratings of those Oriole teams were unreal.

Marlins 2003. Being the Marlins they got no respect but
Mike Lowell at 3rd base has one of the highest if not the highest fielding pct of all time. ETA 2nd highest.
Alex Gonzales at short, Luis Castillo at 2nd and Derek Lee at first. 6 GG amongst them.
And for shites and giggles, Ivan Rodriguez the Goat defensive catcher was technically in the infield as well.

before Grich
Davey Johnson - Johnson reached the World Series again with the Orioles in 1969, 1970, and 1971, winning his second ring in 1970. He also won the AL Gold Glove Award at second base all three seasons. Orioles shortstop Mark Belanger won the award as well in 1969 and 1971, joining a select list of shortstop-second baseman combinations to have won the honor in the same season. Third baseman Brooks Robinson also was in the middle of his record 16 straight Gold Glove streak when Johnson and Belanger won their awards. - Wiki

Supposedly when Rickey Henderson joined the Mets he told John Olerud “I played with a guy in Toronto that used to wear a helmet in the field”

I clicked on this thread to say the one with Rey Ordonez at short. That dude was awesome. I watched sportscenter (when it was still sportscenter) every night/morning before school to make sure and catch highlights of Ordonez the night before.
