Frank Robinson, Major League Baseball's first black manager, dies at 83 |
2019-02-08 |
After winning Most Valuable Player awards in both US leagues - the only player in history to do so - he went on to manage Cleveland in 1975. With a total of 586, he is 10th on the list of the most home runs hit in a major league career. Robinson, who holds countless other records, died at home in California. Since his debut, more than half of all teams have had a black manager. |
