Robinson has been ac claimed s o phom ore -of -11 1 e-y ea r in | the National League. He was the ! odds-on choice for rookie-of-the year in 1956 Robinson was no sentimental choice. He deserved the honors in rarh of the seasons. A sturdy right handed hitter. Robinson batted .1122 in the recent season This was good enough to tie him with Hank Aaron | for third place in the NL batting j lace, In his first season in the ma jors, Frank batted a respecta ble .290. He attracted attention because of his home run prow- : ess as freshman swinger. His 78 home runs tied a major league record as the most ever bit by a first-) ear player His homer production dipped j last season to 29. but Robinson col- j lectcd 31 more base hits. His total j number of hits for the season (197> j left him just three short of the i magical 200 mark, which was at- j, mined by the leader. Red Schoen- : dist, Aaron’s teammate on the Mil- j woukee Braves, Young Robinson gives much ere- | riii to Manager Birdie Tctjbetts for his improvement at the plate and in the field. He says his manager uses the utmost patience with him. Tebbetts reciprocates. He thinks that Robinson might eventually be ranked with the San Francisco (Hants'- Willie Mays and Aaron as the most promising players in the National League. Tebbetts is justified In tak ing a sanguine view of Rob inson. He is just about the most valuable player on the Cincinnati roster now.
