Frank Robinson, a Baltimore Orioles legend and pioneer for Major League Baseball, twice won the World Series with Baltimore and broke the color barrier for African American managers.
Robinson died three years ago Monday at the age of 83. But his legend, impact and brilliance as a player and a man resonate no less now than when he starred for the black and orange.
Arguably, the greatest trade in Baltimore sports history brought Robinson to Baltimore from Cincinnati in 1966. The Reds thought Robinson was an "old" 30. Robinson took that personally and took it out on opposing teams.
