Frank Robinson represented an era for the Nationals—scrappy, willing to fight, and brand new. If you haven’t watched this video, you should to remind yourself of that time in Nats history. He will be sorely missed.
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.
