Not denying Robinsons historical role or ability as a baseball player - but I’m wondering if the MSM and democrats will see this as an opportunity for a massive, Soviet-style funeral

What a player!! He didn't get his just dues being overshadowed by Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente. Since I have been following baseball (almost 60 years), Frank Robinson is probably the most underappreciated superstar.

RIP Frank.

Every silver hair black successful athlete who dies is all of a sudden “civil rights leader”?

RIP #20 F Robby...
Came to the Orioles in 1966 and promptly won the Triple Crown and led the Os to their first World Series win, and three other appearances and another win in 1970. Saw him play many times at the old Memorial Stadium. A great ballplayer.

I grew up in Cincinnati. He was a childhood hero of mine.

RIP, Mr. Robinson.
