Quotes by Frank Robinson

"Sometimes it seems like a bad trade, but bad trades are part of baseball. Now who can forget Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, for God's sake! It's a long season, and you gotta trust it."

Frank Robinson

"It was nothing personal at all. Robinson is not a young 30. If he had been 26, we might not have traded him."

Frank Robinson

"I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out."
