Frank Robinson Quotes

I think Jim Bowden told him he would have the opportunity, and I certainly told him that he would have the opportunity to compete. I never got into asking him if he would accept that [backup] role if he didn't. The guy is coming here to compete for a job. He doesn't want to talk about backing up if it doesn't happen. - Frank Robinson
