Frank Robinson was one of the greatest baseball players of the 20th
century. He was Rookie of the Year for the Cincinnati Reds in 1956,
won the Triple Crown in 1966, led the Baltimore Orioles to four
World Series appearances, and is the only player in baseball
history to be voted Most Valuable Player in both the American and
National leagues. When his playing career was over, he became the
first black manager in both leagues and was elected to the Hall of
Fame in 1982. Amid these accomplishments, he continually strived
for recognition--as if he had something to prove--and as a manager
demanded respect from his players and his bosses. This is the story
of a man who ""crowded the plate"" in all aspects of his baseball
life.
