After Hall of Famer and Frank Robinson died on Thursday, the baseball world quickly began paying tribute to the legendary player turned manager.
Many people have continued to honor Robinson and his legacy including former President Barack Obama. The 44th president reflected on the careers of Robinson and former Congressman John Dingell, who also died on Thursday.
"We lost two great Americans today – Frank Robinson and John Dingell – citizens who inspired me and so many others by leading on the civil rights issues of our time, opening doors to others, and leaving it all on the field," Obama said.
