RIP Thread... pile them up in here

Papa Oriole

 

Robinson won both the ROY and MVP in his career. A rare feat but even rarer was him becoming a winner of the triple crown ! Insanely hard to do. A legend. RIP Mr. Robinson.

 

I just noticed I could have worded this better.

Frank Robinson was, in fact, MLB's first black Manager. He is also in the MLB Hall of Fame.

If you did that today you would be doing time for sexual assault.

 

Just curious, could you imagine in 1945 if that guy was black, holy hell, no time cover eh?

 

hell if it happened today it would be assault, sexual assault, and lord knows whatever else they would drum up.

Sad but True Skinny...........they did know each other and he just grabbed her and planted a Lip Lock.....WW2 was over.

May they BOTH Rest in Peace.........ICONIC image of a different time.

 

Back then if it was a black guy he would've got 10 years for that, nevermind an award winning picture.

 

sorry skinny i didn't see your post until after my post. yeah black or white he would be in trouble. what Oscar winning movie are you referring too ?

vv-i thought they didn't know each other and he just grabbed her??

 

Not sure if he won any awards for that picture but it became one of the most famous pictures of the century and he even had to copyright it, the photographer.

 

to be on Life magazine it had to be copyrighted.

 

So he made a lot of money on it.

 

The subjects in the photograph didn't make a dime. The photographer did.

 

We could use a man like Herbert Hoover again

 

I'll be humming that song all day now.
