One of the bigger names in baseball when I was a kid. (Particularly when he played for Baltimore, and opponents had to face two all-time great Robinsons: Frank and Brooks.)

Frank Robinson was a great man and baseball player, he was practically Mr. Everything during his time. As a Pirate fan, I was always awe-struck by him. RIP Mr. Robinson.
