Frank Robinson

Frank Robinson was one of the greatest baseball players of the 20th century. He was Rookie of the Year in 1956, won the Triple Crown in 1966, led the Baltimore Orioles to four World Series appearances, and is the only player to be voted MVP in both the American and National leagues. He became the first black manager in both leagues and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982. This is the story of a man who "crowded the plate” in all aspects of his baseball life.
