Frank Robinson played for the Baltimore Orioles for just six years, and managed in Baltimore for four more, but he left his mark on this franchise and the city, and he won’t soon be forgotten.
Nicknamed The Judge, Robinson’s playing days were the stuff of legend. He’s an inner circle Hall of Famer with 2,943 hits, 586 home-runs, two MVP awards, a Rookie of the Year award, and 14 All-Star appearances.
From 1956-1965, Robinson was a star in Cincinnati, leading the National League in OPS in three straight seasons, from 1960-1962, and helping the Reds to a World Series appearance in 1961.
