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.

Robinson was also the manager for the Washington Nationals during their 2005 inaugural season. He finished 4th in Manager of the Year voting that season.

This 2005 Washington Nationals Inaugural Season Spring Training Edition program was signed in silver by Robinson and includes a Great Moments COA.
