Frank RobinsonFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Robinson (5/30/2007) Frank Robinson (born August 31, 1935 in Beaumont, Texas), is a Hall of Fame former Major League Baseball player. He was an outfielder, most notably with the Cincinnati Reds and the Baltimore Orioles. During a 21-season career, he became the first player to win League MVP honors in both the National and American Leagues, won the Triple crown, was a member of two teams that won the World Series (the 1966 and 1970 Baltimore Orioles), and amassed the fourth-most career home runs at the time of his retirement (he is currently sixth).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. He went on to manage the San Francisco Giants, the Baltimore Orioles, the Montreal Expos and the Washington Nationals. Dave GarciaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (6/7/2007) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_GarciaDavid Garcia (born September 15, 1920 in East St. Louis, Illinois) is an American scout for the Kansas City Royals and a former coach and manager in Major League Baseball who has spent over 65 years in the game. He served as manager of the California Angels (1977-78) and Cleveland Indians (1979-82) and compiled a career record of 307 wins and 310 defeats (.498).Garcia was a minor league infielder for almost 20 seasons - much of that time in the farm system of the New York Giants - and he never made it to the major leagues. He began managing at age 27 in 1948 with a Giants' farm club at Knoxville of the Class B Tri-State League. He managed in the minor leagues and scouted for the club (the San Francisco Giants as of 1958) through 1968, before joining the San Diego Padres as a minor league skipper in 1969, their maiden season.The following season, in his 50th year, Garcia finally reached the majors as San Diego's third-base coach. He coached with the Padres, Indians and Angels and in 1977 he was named manager of the Angels when Norm Sherry was fired on July 11. While the Angels continued to stumble in '77, the Halos stood at 25-20 when Garcia was released in favor of Jim Fregosi on June 1, 1978.Garcia got another chance to manage with the Indians when Jeff Torborg was fired on July 22, 1979. Cleveland played at a 38-28 clip under Garcia for the remainder of the season, and compiled a mark of 52-51 during the strike-shortened 1981 campaign, but they never finished higher than fifth in the American League East. After a sixth-place finish in 1982, Garcia was fired. But he has remained in the game since, spending many years as a special assignment scout for the Milwaukee Brewers.
