Frank Robinson


On this date in 1956, Frank Robinson of the Reds hits the first of his lifetime 586 home runs in a 9-1 victory over the Cubs.

"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."
