| The trade that brought Frank Robinson from Cincinnati to Baltimore transformed the Orioles from contenders to World Champions in 1966. One of the game's greatest players, he was the 1956 NL Rookie of the Year with the Reds and is the only player to win MVP honors in both leagues ('61 NL, '66 AL). An 11 time All Star, Robinson was the first Oriole to have his number (20) formally retired immediately after he was traded to the Dodgers in 1971. He became the first black manager in major league history with the Cleveland Indians in 1975. He later managed the San Francisco Giants and the Orioles before moving on to manage the Expos/Nationals. |
