Frank Robinson is back in
leftfield for the Cincinnati
Reds, and he's hitting like a
happy man.
In the two squad games
played in training at Tampa,
Robinson. whe played first base
last year, has two home runs
and three doubles.
The homers came yesterday
as the 25-year-old righthanded
hitter batted in four runs to
lead the Cincinnati regulars to
a 9-5 victory over the scrubs.
Robinson, the National League
rookie e-of-the-year in 1856,
says he is shooting for the
triple crown in batting this
season. and he prefers to play
in leftfield between trips to
the plate.
His leading credentials for a
triple crown title are a 1922
batting average in 1857, 38
homers in 1856 and 125 runs
batted in last year.
Switched when Klu Left
Robinson hopes he can i'm
prove on all those marks, but
he'd rather try as an out
fielder and not have to con-
centrate as much on fielding.
After three seasons in which
he played first only briefly. he
was switched to the infield
last year to fill the hole left by
the trade that sent ailing Ted
Kluszewski to Pittsburgh.
Robinson finished tied for
18th in fielding among regular
first basemen in the National
League. His 1874 percentage in
l25 games at the bag topped
only Dick Stuart of Pittsburgh,
q notoriously poor fielder.
In 1858, however, when Rob
iIlson played 1873 games in left
field, his .991 percentage ranked
him sixth among regular
MI outfielders.
z Robinson's future in leftfield
Is linked to Gordon Coleman,
the 25-year-old Rockville, Md,
rookie obtained by the Reds
from Cleveland during the off,
season. If Coleman, who hit
1853 with Mobile in the South
ern Association, can make the
grade at first, Robinson will re-
main in the outfield.
