On Saturday, prior to their contest against the Kansas City Royals at Progressive Field, the Cleveland Indians honored Frank Robinson by unveiling a lifelike statue of the Hall of Famer in Heritage Park.
Robinson, who did most of his damage during his remarkable playing career - which included two MVP awards - as a member of the Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles, became the first African-American manager in major-league history when he was named the Indians' skipper in 1975.
The Indians did more than just honor Robinson with a statue, retiring his No. 20 as well.
