403. Frank Robinson

Outfielder/first baseman Frank Robinson, a Hall of Famer, attended McClymonds High School in Oakland, California.

Frank was named the 1961 National League Most Valuable Player when he played for the Cincinnati Reds, and Robinson was named the 1966 American League MVP when he played with the Baltimore Orioles. Due to these two achievements, Frank Robinson became the first and only Major League Baseball player to win the MVP Award in both leagues!

Also, Frank became MLB’s first African American manager in 1975 when he was a player/manager for the Cleveland Indians. In addition, Robinson became the first African American manager in the NL when he was the skipper of the 1981 San Francisco Giants! Therefore, my 403rd video features him.
