And on April 2, the City of Baltimore renamed portions of 33rd Street – where Memorial Stadium formerly stood – Frank Robinson Way.

A great baseball man. I see the Reds- his first ballclub are wearing a 20 patch this season on their uniforms. I always think of him as an Oriole- too young at to remember him as a Red.

I, too, only see him as an Oriole. I didn’t know that the Reds were doing it too – that’s great!

They played my Pirates the past two weekends- and have the 20 patch- a nice tribute to one of the greats!
