Frank Robinson played for five teams from 1956 to 1976, and became the only player to win league MVP honors in both the National and American Leagues. He won the Triple Crown, was a member of two teams that won the World Series (the 1966 and 1970 Baltimore Orioles), and amassed the fourth-most career home runs at the time of his retirement (he is currently ninth). Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982.

This Rawlings official National League baseball has been signed by Robinson on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint pen and inscribed, "HOF 82." This ball includes a Great Moments COA.
