Frank Robinson Quotes

The way we’re going... if I called up another pitcher, he’d just hang up the phone on me Picture Quote #1

Listen, I was the first black manager in baseball and there was incredible pressure. I don’t blame anyone else. I was too tough . . . I lack patience. I probably got on guys a little too hard, with the wrong tone of voice Picture Quote #1

The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything Picture Quote #1

I expect that [trying to do the best] of my players today and of my kids. My wife says I shouldn’t expect that of my children, but I don’t think that’s asking too much Picture Quote #1

I had no trouble communicating, the player’s just didn’t like what I had to say Picture Quote #1

Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn’t let that pitcher get me out. They say you can’t hit if you’re on your back, but I didn’t hit on my back. I got up Picture Quote #1

Managers don’t have as much leverage as they used to have. We can’t really be the boss Picture Quote #1
