R.I.P. Frank Robinson 1935 💐 2019
You were a true legend and one of the greatest baseball players in MLB.
Great speech by a great man.
Frank Robinson is a true sports hero in Baltimore! Frank along with Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken Jr., Johnny Unitas and Ray Lewis are the Mt Rushmore of Baltimore sports!
Cincinnati Red Great !! 1956-1965 , MVP 1961 .
What a wonderful speech. Frank was a class act.
Frank is in my Top Tier - just 20 position players - of all time, along with Musial, Williams, Mantle, Aaron, Mays, Ruth, Cobb, Gehrig, and a few others. That's how good Frank was.
One of the best ever....Mr. Frank Robinson....R.I.P Frank Robinson
He should be a conmedian ,,, he makes everyone feel good and nothing is said of color or race,,,thats the best part,, Frank is real and good sportmanship and incredible guy,, everyone thought the world of him in baseball,,,RIP. God take him to Heaven and lets play baseball there,,, the best around
great player, and like all of us, was a work in progress as a human being, i never minded tough guys who spoke their mind, let you have it when you were slacking or a quick nod if you did something good. the kind of guy i'd play my heart out for, everyone needs different motivation so what works for one guy doesn't work for another, but if you want to just go by accomplishment, nobody was better than frank robinson, he/they made me a life long oriole fan. frank robinson's true legacy is he made everyone around him better.
Good God! This may be the best delivered speech ever given! Frank is the Jackie Robinson of MLB Management. My tear glands got a rough workout about 2 months ago. I'm sure Hank Aaron, sitting in the audience, remembers this well!
Oakland california gets a bad rap for lots of different issues, but that city has produced so many great athletes. Frank Robinson. Bill Russell. Rickey Henderson. Joe Morgan. Vada Pinson. Marshawn lynch. Dave Stewart. Dennis eckersley. Damien Lillard.
Robby has been my favorite player since I first saw him at Crosley Field in 1957. The only 'slugger' I ever saw who played every day like a rookie trying to make the team. No middle infielder in the league wanted to see him on first base in a double play situation; he was known as the Black Ty Cobb in his prime.

Remembering Frank Robinson (1935-2019). Hall of Fame baseball player and the first black manager in major league history.
I had the privilege of watching the Robby Twins play baseball as a kid. Thirty years sgo, he made my then-five-year-old nephew’ feel like a Star. We will never forget that.
How many players could be considered the greatest player for two different franchises? I think Frank would have an argument.
Great player! RIP
I had a dream, where Frank Robinson had passed, and the next day the news came through that he had. I had no connection that I know to Frank, other than a deep admiration for his competative nature. Like many great players, his manager abilities had more challenges -- often great players just cannot understand why lessor players don't get what comes easily and natural to them. This is probably true for you, if there is something you are very good at whether it's carpetry, mechanics, paiting, whatever. It's hard to have the patience and understanding needed because it just doesn't make sense that they don't get it.
RIP
Whaf? What did he say about Baltimore?? I thought he played for Cincinattii? When was this ,, in 1966 i was 7 years old,,, 5 teams and over 556 Home Runs and tremendous manager,,, what did he say?? He was long famous before he even stood on this podium ,, in my opinion,
Class Act
I’m pretty sure I speak for all Oriole fans when I say that we agree that Frank’s tenure in Baltimore was way too short.
Why the owner trade gim away that was stupid could have been apart of big red machine
Whats he saying?? Turn your mic up some,,,, huh..
