Player Biography
A major league player, manager, coach, executive and broadcaster, Frank Robinson has done it all. A two-time Most Valuable Player, once in each league, Robinson was an aggressive outfielder and hard-charging baserunner. “Frank was a great player,” Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax said. “He had great tools, and he had great desire. He beat you any way he could.” The 1966 American League Triple Crown winner, Robinson concluded his career with 586 home runs and just 57 hits shy of 3,000. His intelligence and leadership helped him become the major leagues’ first African-American manager; he was named player-manager of the Cleveland Indians in 1975.
