I expect that [trying to do the best] of my players today and of my kids. My wife says I shouldn't expect that of my children, but I don't think that's asking too much.
Frank RobinsonIt's nice to come into a town and be referred to as the manager of the Cleveland Indians instead of as the first black manager.
Frank RobinsonI don't see why you reporters keep confusing Brooks (Robinson) and me. Can't you see that we wear different numbers.
Frank RobinsonIf the guys on the bench were as good as the guys you have out there, they'd be out there in first place.
Frank RobinsonNo, I don't think my presence will cause an increase in black attendance at Cleveland. People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.
