Frank Robinson was an American professional baseball outfielder and manager in Major League Baseball who played for five teams, from 1956 to 1976. The only player to be named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of both the National League NL and the American League AL, he was named the NL MVP after leading the Cincinnati Reds to the pennant in 1961 and was named the AL MVP in 1966 with the Baltimore Orioles after winning the Triple Crown; Robinson's 49 home runs that year tied for themes by an AL player between 1962 and 1989, and stood as a franchise record for 30 years. He helped lead the Orioles to the first two World Series titles in franchise history in 1966 and 1970, and was named Series MVP in 1966 after leading the Orioles to a four-game sweep of the Los Angels Dodgers. In 1975, Robison became the first Black manager in big league history, as the Cleveland Indians' player-manager. A 14-time All Star, Robinson batted .300 nine times, hit 30 home runs 11 times, and led his league slugging four times and in runs scored three times. His 586 career home runs ranked fourth in major league history at the time of his retirement, and he ranked sixth in total bases (5,373) and extra-base hits (1,186), eight in games played (2,808), and ninth in runs scored (1,829). His 2,943 career hits are the most since 1934 by any player who fell short of the 3,00 hit mark. He was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility in 1982.
