Frank Robinson, baseball’s fearsome trailblazer, dies at 83 By DAVID GINSBURG and BEN WALKER AP Sports Writers Crowding the plate, fear- some and fearless, Frank Robinson hammered his way into the Hall of Fame. His legacy, however, was cemented that day in 1975 when he simply stood in the dugout at old Cleveland Stadium — the first black manager in Major League Baseball. Robinson, the only player to earn the MVP award in both leagues and a Triple Crown winner, died Thurs- day at 83. He had been in fail- ing health and in hospice care at his home in the Bel Air sec- tion of Los Angeles. MLB said he was with family and friends at the time. “Frank Robinson’s resume in our game is without par- allel, a trailblazer in every sense, whose impact spanned generations,” Commis- sioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. Robinson hit 586 home runs — he was fourth on the career list behind only Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Wil- lie Mays when he retired and now ranks 10th. An MVP with Cincinnati and Balti- more, he led the Orioles to their first World Series cham- pionship in 1966. “Frank Robinson and I were more than baseball bud- AP File Photo In this 1975 file photo, Cleve- land Indians manager Frank Robinson watches during spring training at Tucson, Ariz. dies. We were friends. Frank was a hard-nosed baseball player who did things on the field that people said could never be done,” Aaron posted on Twitter. “Baseball will miss a tre- mendous human being,” he said. An All-Star outfielder in 12 seasons and a first-bal- lot selection to Cooperstown, Robinson also was a Rookie of the Year, a Gold Glove out- fielder and a bruising runner. But his place in the sport’s history extended far beyond the batter’s box and basepaths. Robinson fulfilled his quest to become the first Afri- can-American manager in the big leagues when he was hired by the Cleveland Indians.
