Date of birth[edit]

It is different than the one at Find-A-Grave. Lincher 21:31, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would suspect that Find-a-Grave's dates of birth are generally taken from gravestones or cemetery records, which are often in error. There are more reliable sources. MisfitToys 00:39, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Robinson's 4th place finish in 1930 was better than it looked---it was a 4-team dogfight all the way between Brooklyn,New York Giants, Chicago Cubs,and eventual winner St.Louis Cardinals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.11 (talk) 15:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Wilbert Robinson (1863–1934) was an American catcher, coach and manager in Major League Baseball. Robinson made it to the major leagues in 1886 with the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association, transferring to the Baltimore Orioles in 1890. After the Orioles, by then playing in the National League, folded in 1899, he played one season with the St. Louis Cardinals before spending his final season with a new Baltimore Orioles team in the American League. (That team later moved to New York. The present Baltimore Orioles are yet another team.) Robinson played 1,316 games as a catcher, compiled a career batting average of .273, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1945.

He is shown here in 1916 as the manager of the Brooklyn Robins or Dodgers (now the Los Angeles Dodgers).Photograph: Bain News Service; restoration: Adam Cuerden
