Frank Robinson wore a dark suit and a red tie as the banner in right field was pulled away, revealing his name in bright red letters on the facade.
The first manager in Washington Nationals history was officially inducted into the team’s ring of honor Saturday afternoon, a little more than 10 years after he managed its first game in Washington. He chatted with old friends and former players, Nationals bullpen coach Matt LeCroy among them, before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Ian Desmond, who wears No. 20 to honor Robinson, caught it on one hop.
