I met Frank Robinson a bunch of times when I was working on Camden Yards in 1991. Looking at him he was an intimidating fellow, yet when I talked to him I found he was very engaging and friendly. I did not ask for an autograph, though, which is when he supposedly gets irritated and frustrated with fans.
I do agree he is very underrated, and not sure why. I always thought maybe it was because he never left baseball, going on to manage and then front office jobs. While others of lesser talent retired to do the autograph circuit and give interviews and talk about their achievements, Frank was still working to climb higher and higher withing the game he loved.
