1968 Topps #404 Floyd Robinson
About Floyd Robinson
Card #404 in the 1968 Topps set, a series-5 issue, is Robinson's only card as an Oakland Athletic; Cincinnati traded him and pitcher Darrell Osteen to the A's on November 21, 1967. The back covers a lost 1967, when a wrenched knee held him to 55 games as a Red: 31 hits, one home run, 10 RBI and a .238 average. His last major league home run came as a pinch-hitter at Yankee Stadium on April 16, 1968, a two-run ninth-inning shot that won the game for Oakland. Boston bought his contract on July 31 and he played his final game that September.
Floyd Robinson, a left-handed-hitting outfielder, signed with the Pacific Coast League's San Diego Padres out of San Diego High School in 1954 for a reported $500 bonus. After two years in the Marine Corps he was discharged in March 1960, and the Chicago White Sox took him through their San Diego working agreement; he debuted that August 10. Robinson spent seven seasons in Chicago, hit over .300 three times and tied for third in the 1961 American League Rookie of the Year vote. His best came in 1962: a .312 average, 109 RBI and a league-leading 45 doubles. Chicago traded him to Cincinnati for Jim O'Toole in December 1966; Oakland got him the following November, and Boston bought his contract in July 1968, his final season. He retired at .283 with 929 hits and 67 home runs in nine years, then ran a liquor store, built low-income senior housing and started the Floyd Robinson Foundation in 2007 to fund college grants for San Diego County graduates. San Diego's Breitbard Hall of Fame inducted him in 2009.
