I am a white man, and must admit that black athletes are always better than white athletes. Even now with the distance skating is an American skater who won the world title. The blacks are more blessed with sports. We as whites have to do it with robbing and dominating of the world (U.S, U.K Israel and least but not last Europe) That's why many races hate the white race. Please no hate it's only the facts.

One of my all-time favorite players.

Frank Robinson played the game it was supposed to be played; balls out all the time!

[goobernoodles]

SUPERMAN!

[FRSFreeStateES]

Frank Robinson might be the most underrated OF of all time and perhaps is only remembered for his HR. But he was a great all around player who doesn't get enough respect.

[FRSFreeState]

Frank Robinson was a great all around player who's never gotten enough credit

[loyaldude10]

@FRSFreeState --as far as superstars, he was definitely underrated. Wasnt a very talkative guy, kind of introverted, but boy could he play. Very intense, demanding of himself and his teammates, and those players he managed. By far, best hitter and team leader Orioles ever had.

[vandywilliam]

Frank Robinson is my favorite baseball player of all-time.

[sammyvh11]

Yes....thats why they put the HERE flag there.......madstork Ted Hendrix....!

[sammyvh11]

I was there the day he hit it into the parking lot at Memorial Stadium. I was 8 yrs old it was a doubleheader with Cleveland. I belive a rookie named Luis Tiant was on the mound. The ball kept rising it was a line drive. Then it was gone.

[TheMadStork83]

@sammyvh11 Lol, I remember seeing that on the Orioles documentry video of "Memories on 33rd Street". Wasen't that on Mother's Day in 66? I always remember the flag "HERE".

[MrDiamondcut]

Frank Robinson. My Hero! The most accomplished player...of ANY COLOR in baseball history. THANK YOU FRANK!

[FrsBigeasy]

Great all around Hitter & a great OF who doesn't get enough credit.

[jim102353]

The "Triple Crown", Frank in '66 and Yaz in "67, and nobody since, NOBODY! Just imagine how a player today would be paid if it was won. Not only that but Frank won MVP's in both major leagues, nobody else, NOBODY! Talk about being focused consistently, nobody better, NOBODY! Baseball's first black manager too, What a resume! Incredible example to the game itself and Manager of the Year in both leagues too, nobody else, NOBODY! Seen his Home Run against Drysdale in the '66 World Series Sweep.

[tjohnson94134]

@jim102353 He was not only baseball's first black manager but baseball's first black manager in both leagues. 1975 for the Cleveland Indians and 1981 for the San Francisco Giants.

[jim102353]

@tjohnson94134 Come to think of it, you are correct. I have pictures and collectables of Frank and Brooks Robinson all over my condo, its a Baltimore Orioles shrine, I bleed orange and black, a real die hard, my brother, a Phillies fan, says I'm married to the Baltimore Orioles and I have to admit that I am.

[buckfan1969]

Robby was always my favorite player; a home run hitter who'd break up the double play or slam into a wall like the rawest rookie trying to make the team. Nobody was better at going from 1st to 3rd and nobody played with more passion.

[tonycozart]

They say you pick your favorite player when you're a kid, and he remains your favorite player the rest of your life. That's what happened with me and Frank Robinson. I first saw FR at Connie Mack Stadium in Phila (1964) I liked his HR trott. When he moved to Balto. in 1966 (my home town) I fell in love with him. I'm 55 now and no one else has ever replaced him in my heart. My only regret is that he didn't go for 600 hr, n 3000 hits. he was so close n could have easily made it. FR forever!

[buckfan1969]

tony, you are a man after my own heart. I fretted when he wouldn't play much after becoming Cleveland's manager, and falling just short of both milestones too. I was in mourning when the Reds traded him after the 1965 season, but reveled in his Triple Crown year with Baltimore. I'm 59, and he became my hero in 1960; same age as you when he became your favorite.

[UncleMikeNJ]

He played the bulk of his career in Cincinnati and Baltimore. If he'd played in a media center like New York, Chicago or L.A., he'd be so big a star you wouldn't believe it.

[MIKESOWELL]

Robinson hit a Home Run every 17.1 At Bats in his MLB Career

[Dietpepsivanilla]

One of my all-time favorite players.

[AskJeeves17]

Amazing player, AND NO STEROIDS! OH MY GOSH, WHAT A CONCEPT!
