The Good article nomination for Frank Robinson has failed, for the following reason:
Paragraphs are rather short, one entire section only has two sentences. See if you can find more refs too. Rlevse 16:30, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Manny Acta has not officially been named manager yet [1]. Fbdave 13:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
There was decent (3-1) concensus at halloffame=yes|halloffame-importance=#Recommended / Suggested Length of Succession Boxes not to delete succession boxes, yet you did it anyway - put them back. Brholden 22:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
During the last two years of his playing career, he served as the first permanent African-American manager in Major League history, managing the Cleveland Indians to a 186-189 record. ...something is wrong with that last sentence, since i think you can't be a manager during your "playing career."
Technically, Robinson wasn't the first black manager in MLB. If you go to the Ernie Banks page, it states that when the Cubs manager was ejected in a game, Banks took over as manager for the final 2 innings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LightningOffense ( talk • contribs) 02:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I removed the asterisks after the names of Bonds and Sosa. Major League Baseball does not use asterisks to differentiate its records. If the intent was to indicate that the home run records of Bonds and Sosa are suspect because of steroid allegations, some other way should be found to do this. I also corrected the remark that Griffey would pass Robinson, since he now has. Gogh 00:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

My memories of Frank Robinson was as a school friend at Lincoln School, Oakland, CA...I think we were in the 7th grade back then, & each time Frank came to bat when we were playing baseball, we would all automatically expect it to go over the fence across the street! I still remember all those good ole days & all the friends we had back then...it's always good to see Frank on TV, I'm always proud to say we went to the same school...I will always remember Frank, hope he remembers some of his old buddies from those days at Lincoln School...I am Hazel Lowe Fone,happily married to Jim Fone, we have 5 adult kids, 6 grandchildren & looking forward to being great-grandparents in Feb. 2012....Hope your family life is as good as ours is, I know your professional life is great, proud to say "I went to school with Frank" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.36.219.104 ( talk) 00:40, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
