There isn’t much I can add about the legendary Frank Robinson that hasn’t been said. But in my youth, he was always number four on the all time home run list, and that was something special. Today he stands tenth, remembered for his homers almost as much as for his Triple Crown, his two MVPs, and his second career as a manager, without any doubt his most important achievement. RIP, Frank.
