@sammyvh11 Frank Robinson hit the ball out of memorial stadium in 1966 off of Luis Tiant.he was the greatest Oriole of all time and the 2nd best Red next to Johnny Bench.
@USAGiant Yes. And like Willie he could do alot of the little things that never get on the scorecard as well as spectacular clutch play at bat and on the field.
It's bizarre that since his retirement that Frank Robinson has been underrated. He was a hugely popular and respected player in his day. He could do it all. He was gutsy player and is a courageous man. Never afraid to speak his mind. Roberto Clemente was my hero, but Frank Robinson-- he has to be in the top ten greatest of all time.
I was in the stands when he became the only human being to hit a home run out of Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. The guy was all about winning and had the tools to do it all. All century team how about all universe team!
What a great player. I saw him play as a kid. He was one of the best all-round players ever. After he won the triple crown in 1966 he was on his way to threatening again to do the same in '67 until he got beaned. He saw double the rest of the year and tailed off, but still had an amazing year. He was a tough, hard-nosed player who could hit, run, throw and field. And one of the smartest baseball minds ever. Frank, you are not underrated in my book and are on alot of fans' all-century teams!
Robby was my favorite player from the first time I saw him at Crosley in 1957. I cried when the Reds traded him, burst with pride when he won the Triple Crown and MVP the next year, and agonized when he ran into Al Weiss the year after that. He was never the same hitter, but he never stopped being the ultimate competitor. When he slid under Manny Sanguillen to score the winning run in game 6 of the 1971 Series, it was vintage Frankie Robinson. He and Williams are my only baseball heroes.

Frank Robinson perhaps the best all around hitter in Orioles History as well as easily one of the most underrated players in MLB History
