Frank Robinson

On this date in 1965, Frank Robinson is traded from the Reds to the Orioles for Milt Pappas and two other players. Reds GM, Bill Dewitt defends the trade calling Robinson "an old 30".

"There's absolutely no way you can go barreling into second and dump a guy on a double play, like you should do, when you've been fraternizing with him before the game."
