More Quotes from Frank Robinson:
It was basically a warning They have control of the game. It's up to them. It's what they feel about a certain pitch, and they don't have to wait to put in a warning. Word is, there's bad blood between the two ball clubs, and every time we play they're going to put out a warning to the umpires.Frank Robinson
A lot of guys said he was off the wall, he's crazy. I found him to be a guy with a lot of energy. He played the game hard. He just wanted to go out and play. Sometimes his emotion got in the way. He would lose control and tear things. I talked to him and reasoned with him. I listened to him. We developed a fondness for each other. I admire him for the way he goes about his work.

He can steal a run for us here and there, put pressure on the defense, take the extra base and put pressure on the defense. That's what we felt he could bring and that's what we were hoping for him to do if he made the ball club.
