Here’s
a fantasy coach card for Hall of Fame slugger Frank Robinson, who was
back in Baltimore after a managerial stint in Cleveland, making him the
first African-American Major League skipper:
After his prolific playing career that saw him wallop 586 homers, garner
two MVP Awards (one in each league), and win two championships while
with the Orioles, Robinson put together a long and respected
post-playing career that STILL has him working for the Commissioner as
Senior Advisor.
In between, he not only led the Indians, but also went on to managerial
jobs with the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants and Montreal
Expos/Washington Nationals.
One of THE respected voices in baseball, Robinson has managed to equal
his spot in baseball history off the playing field as well as on it.
