This week Tom tells Josh about the Judge: Frank Robinson. We discuss his rapid rise to the majors, his time as a franchise player in Cincinnati, his being a cornerstone of Baltimore's 60s-70s dynasty, and him becoming the first black manager in MLB. Along the way he overcame racial prejudice, numerous injuries brought about his tough style of play, skeptical owners, and even a brush with death to become an MLB legend.
