Frank Robinson, MLB Hall of Fame outfielder and manager, has died at the age of 83. Its a sad day for baseball, as one of the all-time greats has passed. Robinson had been fighting bone cancer for some time.
Robinson debuted in 1956 with the Cincinnati Reds, making a splash immediately with a 936 OPS, and winning the National League Rookie of the Year Award while finishing 7th in the MVP balloting and making the All Star Game. He spent his first ten years in the majors with Cincy, before infamously being traded to Baltimore for Milt Pappas in what has gone done in history (and referenced by Annie Savoy) as being one of the worst trades in history.
