yes he was a great player, fine man on and off the field.

I recall for many years in the ‘60s and ‘70s, many called the trade of Frank Robinson by the Reds to the Orioles, for Milt Pappas, to be one of the most one sided trades in baseball history.

The Os lost a good man in Pappas, but got a legend.

Frank Robinson was a class act and talented ball player.

I recall for many years in the ‘60s and ‘70s, many called the trade of Frank Robinson by the Reds to the Orioles, for Milt Pappas, to be one of the most one sided trades in baseball history.

The Orioles made up for this theft when they traded Curt Schilling, Pete Harnisch, and Steve Finley to the Astros for Glenn Davis, who subsequently forgot how to hit.

. . . many called the trade of Frank Robinson by the Reds to the Orioles, for Milt Pappas, to be one of the most one sided trades in baseball history.

Pappas went on to a respectable career as a major league pitcher, though far short of Hall of Fame performance. The most one sided trade in history was the 1964 trade of Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio, who finished out his career in baseball and with the Cubs at 7-19 and a 5.40 ERA.

Pappas went on to a respectable career of eight more years with three different National League teams, finishing at 99-90 with a 3.57 ERA for an 209-154, 3.40 overall to compare with Broglio's 77- 74, 3.74.

Brock and Broglio are the only two of the four still alive.
