Celebrating Frank Robinson, Dodgers at Reds, April 15, 1972

About this episode

Frank Robinson could hit the ball hard. He ran the base paths even harder. A formidable player who has been named MVP for both the AL and NL, the triple crown in 1966, 14 All-Star appearances, and 2 World Series rings.

To this day, he holds the record for walk-off hits, with 26 winning moments to his credit.

In the final years of his playing career, he became the player-manager for Cleveland in 1975 and continued managing until he retired in 2006.

Today's broadcast celebrates the life and achievement of Frank Robinson as we turn the clock back to 1972. Robinson is debuting with the Dodgers on an Opening Day visit to the Reds. The Reds hold a special place in Robinson's career; he debuted in the Majors and won his first World Series with them.
