One of the most powerful hitters of all time who went on to manage four franchises across four decades in the dugout. Frank Robinson, 1956 NL Rookie of the Year, was the first player to win MVP Awards in both leagues – 1961 with Cincinnati and 1966 with Baltimore. In 1966 he won the AL’s Triple Crown and helped lead the Orioles to their first World Series title. Robinson was a 14-time All-Star and slammed 586 home runs, 10th all time. He became the first Black manager in AL/NL history when he took over Cleveland as player-manager in 1975 and was AL Manager of the Year with Baltimore in 1989. He is the only man ever to win Rookie of the Year, MVP, and Manager of the Year awards. Robinson was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982. #BlackHistoryMonth
@MLB One of the best to ever do it! RIH 🙏
@MLB He hit some of the most clutch home runs in the world series when it mattered most. Frank was a true goat
@MLB Why, when we are trying to unite people, do we segregate people?
