About Frank Robinson
Robinson's 1967 ran only 129 games but produced .311, 30 home runs, 94 RBI and his 400th career homer, off Jim Kaat. That put him second to Carl Yastrzemski on batting-leaders card #2, ahead of Al Kaline, and onto RBI card #4 with Yastrzemski and Harmon Killebrew. Card #373 is a Sporting News All-Star, one of the twenty whose backs join into two picture puzzles; #500 and the "Bird Belters" pairing with Brooks Robinson at #530 are both sixth-series cards.
Frank Robinson reached the majors with the Cincinnati Redlegs on April 17, 1956, at age 20, and his 38 home runs that summer tied Wally Berger's 1930 rookie record and carried him to National League Rookie of the Year. He became Cincinnati's franchise player, driving the Reds to the 1961 pennant and winning that year's National League Most Valuable Player award. Reds owner Bill DeWitt, calling him "an old 30," traded him to Baltimore on December 9, 1965 for pitchers Milt Pappas and Jack Baldschun and outfielder Dick Simpson, a deal that became shorthand for a one-sided trade. Robinson answered with the 1966 American League Triple Crown, a unanimous MVP award that made him the first man honored in both leagues, and a World Series MVP as the Orioles swept the Dodgers. Three more pennants and a second title followed by 1971. A 14-time All-Star who curled his body over the plate and slid in spikes first, he was nicknamed "the Judge" for presiding over Baltimore's clubhouse kangaroo court, and left the game after 21 seasons with 586 home runs and 2,943 hits. In 1975 he became the majors' first Black manager, with Cleveland, and entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.
