Would anyone put frank robinson in the top 10 all time not including cheaters?
I got him in the top 20 . no cheaters.
Many of the blacks from the 50s-60's were tough autos. They grew up and played during segregation. They have experienced things we couldn't imagine.Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, the first African-American manager in the majors when the Cleveland Indians named him player-manager in 1975, has died.
Still remember him blowing me off for a autograph when he was with the Halos.
Would be hard pressed to find a better foursome than Mays, Aaron, Clemente, and Robinson playing at the same time.....
Here's an idea for Major League Baseball: Celebrate the outstanding careers of both Jackie Robinson and Frank Robinson on the same day.
Honor Jackie, as the first African-American player, and Frank, as the first African-American manager.
Tell the story of both men.
After all, Jackie blazed the trail for Frank and countless others
Absolutely.....have seen all five during my lifetime.....as a kid, the NL dominated the all star game....not so much now...."Would be hard pressed to find a better foursome than Mays, Aaron, Clemente, and Robinson playing at the same time."
Not hard pressed at all. Stan Musial, and a left-handed bat. Could make it a five-some who all played at same time, or subtract Robinson or Clemente to make it a foursome.
Musial: .331 lifetime BA, 3630 hits, 1951 rbi's, 475 home runs, 24 time all-star.
Stan the Man was a legend in St. Louis.
Played in 24 MLB All-Star Games, a record he shares with Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.
Aaron, Mays and Musial on the same line of the MLB Record Book.
Now that's the killer threesome that should be highlighted.
