Quote of the day: Frank Robinson

Hall of Fame outfielder Frank Robinson on dealing with brushback pitches:

“Pitchers did me a favor when they knocked me down. It made me more determined. I wouldn’t let that pitcher get me out. They say you can’t hit if you’re on your back, but I didn’t hit on my back. I got up.”
