Godspeed, F. Robby
Let us take a moment to honor the service of Washington Expos manager Frank Robinson.
As this article implies, the Expos will be moving in another direction for the 2007 season. We can only hope the wish Robinson well in his future endeavors.
I think that Brian Schneider put it best when he said, "He took care of this team when no one really wanted to."
No one, including the team owner and Major League Baseball (often one and the same), really cared. MLB may have treated the Expos like a joke, but Robinson never did. Despite the stripped-down rosters and ridiculous travel schedules, he never griped and maintained a professional atmosphere. If Robinson weren't already a Hall of Famer, he would deserve to get in for putting up with all the crap the Expos had to endure the last five years.
