Frank Robinson Control Quotations

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.

My decision was that he was in complete control of that ballgame, ... He's a battler. I wasn't going to take him out and interrupt things on that field.

I have no idea. I don't waste energy over something I have no control of.

If it bothered me, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's just like living in one area of town and you can't afford the things some of your friends can afford. Does that bother you? Subconsciously, it does a little bit. But you can't let it get the best of you and control your thought process. If you do, you won't have a very happy life.

He's in complete control of that ballgame, ... He's a battler, a warrior. And I'm not going to take him out of there.
