Quote of the day: Frank Robinson

Baltimore Orioles manager Frank Robinson in 1989 on changes in the game:

“Managers don't have as much leverage as they used to have. We can’t really be the boss. If I say to a veteran player, ‘If you don't perform, you may be sent back to the minors, they look at me and say, ‘Who are you kidding? I’m not going anyplace. I’ve already had three years in the major leagues and you can’t send me back to the minor leagues without my OK.’ ”
