THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER MEMBERS
I RISE TO ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF
THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS MOST
RESPONSIBLE FOR RUINING MY
SUMMER IN OCTOBER.
OF NINETEEN SIXTY SIX THAT'S
WHEN THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES SWEPT
THE LA DODGERS FOR GAME STRAIGHT
IT WAS FRANK ROBINSON IN THE
FOURTH INNING.
OF THAT FOURTH GAME.
WHO HIT THE ONLY RUN IN THAT
GAME -- THE
TOOK THE DODGERS DOWN TO DEFEAT.
FRANK ROBINSON WAS A LEGENDARY
BASEBALL PLAYER.
A HALL OF FAMER A BARRIER
BREAKER.
AND A CIVIL RIGHTS ADVOCATE.
ROBINSON IS THE ONLY PERSON TO
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER IN BOTH THE
AMERICAN LEAGUE.
AND THE NATIONAL LEAGUE IT'S AN
AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT.
HE WAS A TRAILBLAZER BOTH ON AND
OFF THE FIELD AND WAS THE FIRST
AFRICAN AMERICAN MANAGER.
IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.
HE BEGAN HIS CAREER IN NINETEEN
FIFTY THREE AND MINOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL QUICKLY GRADUATED TO
THE MAJOR LEAGUES THREE YEARS
LATER.
STARTING A CAREER WITH THE
CINCINNATI REDS.
HE PLAYED FOR THE REDS FOR TEN
YEARS DURING WHICH HE WON HIS
FIRST MVP TROPHY.
AND IN NINETEEN SIXTY SIX THAT
FATEFUL YEAR HE BEGAN PLAYING
FOR THE BALTIMORE ORIOLES WHERE
HE WOULD PLAY FOR SIX SEASONS
HELPING THAT TEAM GET THE TO THE
WORLD SERIES. FOUR TIMES OF
WINNING IT TWICE OVER THOSE
YEARS.
ROBINSON WENT ON TO PLAY FOR THE
DODGERS THE ANGELS AND THE
INDIANS AND DURING HIS LAST YEAR
WITH THE INDIANS ROBINSON TOOK
ON THE ROLE OF BOTH PLAYER.
AND MANAGER BECOMING THE FIRST
AFRICAN AMERICAN MANAGER OF A
MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER --
I'D LIKE TO PUT THAT IN CONTEXT.
OF BECOMING THE MANAGER OF A
MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM.
WAS THE FUNCTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF
BECOMING THE FIRST AFRICAN
AMERICAN CEO OF A MAJOR
CORPORATION THIS IS A REALLY BIG
DEAL -- AND
YOU KNOW WE RIGHTFULLY LIONIZE
JACKIE ROBINSON FOR BREAKING THE
COLOR COLOR BARRIER IN BASEBALL
BACK IN.
NINETEEN FORTY SEVEN IT WAS
TWENTY EIGHT YEARS LATER TALK
ABOUT THE ARC OF JUSTICE --
IT MOVES INCREDIBLY SLOWLY
SOMETIMES IT TOOK TWENTY EIGHT
YEARS FOR THERE TO BE AN AFRICAN
AMERICAN MANAGER MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL --
AND THAT WAS FRANK ROBINSON.
HE MANAGED DOUG HAD A LONG
CAREER MANAGING TEAMS INCLUDING
THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS THE
BALTIMORE ORIOLES IN THE
MONTREAL EXPOS.
HE WAS KNOWN TO BE A SKILLED
FOCUSED AND INTENSELY
COMPETITIVE PLAYER AND AT THE
TIME OF RETIREMENT.
HE HAD THE FOURTH HIGHEST NOTE
FOR AND THIS IS FROM THE FIELD --
HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE FIELD HE
HAVE THE FOURTH --
HOME RUNS AND ALMOST THREE
THOUSAND HITS.
ROBINSON WAS INDUCTED INTO THAT --
NATIONAL BASEBALL HALL OF FAME
IN NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO ON THE
FIRST BALLOT IN HIS FIRST YEAR
OF ELIGIBILITY ANOTHER BIG DEAL.
A AND HE ALSO RECEIVED THE
PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM IN.
TWO THOUSAND FIVE HE PASSED AWAY
ON FEBRUARY SEVENTH AT THE AGE
OF EIGHTY THREE AND IS SURVIVED.
BY HIS WIFE BARBARA AND COAL HIS
SON FRANK AND HIS DAUGHTER TO
SHELL AND I US THAT WE HAD
TURNED IN HIS MEMORY.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER BLOOM
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED FOR THIS ADJOURNMENT
A MEMORY.
THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER I ALSO
RISE TO ADJOURN IN THE MEMORY OF
FRANK ROBINSON WHO PASSED AWAY.
ONE WEEK AGO AT THE AGE OF
EIGHTY THREE FRANK ROBINSON WAS
THAT TRUE TRAILBLAZER ON THE
BASEBALL FIELD AND A TRUE
INSPIRATION TO THE COMMUNITY OF
OAKLAND.
FRANK ROBINSON ATTENDED WEST
OAKLAND'S CLIMB IN HIGH SCHOOL.
HE ONCE JOKED THAT HIS QUICKNESS
CAME FROM BEING ONE OF TEN KIDS.
IF YOU WEREN'T QUICK YOU DIDN'T
EAT HE SAID.
GROWING UP ON MYRTLE STREET WEST
OAKLAND HIS FAMILY STRUGGLE. TO
MAKE ENDS MEET.
IN FACT NEVER OWNED HIS OWN
BASEBALL GLOVE UNTIL HE WAS.
FOURTEEN FRANK ROBINSON WAS A
TOUGH AND RESILIENT PLAYER.
HE CREDITED THAT STRENGTH TO
GOING ON FALL IN OAKLAND.
HIS INDUCTION INTO THE BASEBALL
HALL OF FAME HE TOLD THE STORY
OF SLIDING INTO SECOND BASE.
AND TEARING HIS PAT LAKE.
YOU CAME HOME IN HIS MOTHER WAS
DISTRESSED BY HIS TORN CLOSE BUT
HE SAID.
THAT SLIDING HARD WAS JUST HOW
THE GAME IS PLAYED.
NOTABLY IN THOSE DAYS FRANK WAS
PLAIN ON AN ASPHALT BASEBALL
FIELD.
RIPS IN THE SCRAPES ARE WHAT
MADE FRANK ROBINSON LEGENDARY
PLAYER.
AND MANAGER.
HE GREW TO BE.
IT ALSO HELPED HIM OVERCOME
STRUGGLES THAT CONTINUED WELL
INTO HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER.
FRANK ROBINSON WAS ONE OF THE
LEAGUE'S MOST OUTSPOKEN PLAYERS
ON A VARIETY OF RACIAL JUSTICE
ISSUES.
AMONG THEM THE LACK OF
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WHITE
PITCHERS WHO THREW IT AT BLACK
HITTERS.
SOMETHING HE KNEW ABOUT ALL TO
WELL.
BEING ON THE RECEIVING END A
HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT TIMES.
THE SAME YEAR HE WAS NAMED MOST
VALUABLE PLAYER HE WAS ALSO
TURNED AWAY BECAUSE OF HIS RACE
WHEN HE TRIED. TO BUY A HOUSE.
HE WAS STOPPED AT THE DOOR OF A
PARTY CELEBRATING HIS TEAM'S
PENNANT WHEN BECAUSE OF A QUOTE
NO NEGROES ALLOWED AND QUOTE
SIGN.
STILL FRANK ROBINSON PERSEVERED
AND NEVER LET IS OBSTACLES TO
TURN HIM.
FROM BECOMING ONE OF THE
GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE HISTORY
OF BASEBALL.
HE WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND.
THE SPIRIT OF WHAT MAKES OAKLAND
GREAT AND HIS POWERFUL LEGACY
EVER LET AS THE TERMINATION.
STRENGTH OF CHARACTER AND
INDOMITABLE WILL WILL CONTINUE
TO LIVE ON AS WE CONTINUE OUR
FIGHT FOR A MORE JUST AND MORE
FAIR SOCIETY.
THAT WAS SPEAKER MEMBERS ASKED
THAT WE ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF AND
IN SINCERE GRATITUDE TO FRANK
ROBINSON.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MCCARTY WERE
ALSO RECOGNIZED FOR THIS A
GERMAN A MEMORY THANK YOU I ALSO
WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE PASSING
OF FRANK ROBINSON.
I WITH A HEAVY HEART WE TALK
ABOUT HIM TODAY OUR MEMBERS THAT
YOUNG BOY MY DAD LIVED IN
OAKLAND.
AND I WAS TOLD ABOUT HIS OAKLAND
HISTORY IT'S AMAZING THAT ONE
HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM HAD --
THREE FUTURE MAJOR LEAGUERS
FRANK ROB AND CURT FLOOD AND HE
WAS THE HEART OF OAKLAND AND OF
COURSE HE WAS THE FIRST AFRICAN
AMERICAN MANAGER I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT AS WE CELEBRATE.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH HERE IN
FEBRUARY AND HE REALLY IS ONE OF
THOSE UNSUNG HEROES WHO WHO MADE
A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE.
IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT AS
MY COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA MONICA
SAID HE LEFT HIS MARK ON THE
BASEBALL FIELD MVP.
IN TWO LEAGUES WON THE TRIPLE
CROWN A FIRST BALLOT HALL OF
FAMER THE FIRST AT THE TIME --
BUT ALSO HE LEFT HIS MARK IN THE
CIVIL RIGHTS ERA BECAUSE IN THE
IN THE IN THE SIXTIES.
AND FRANKLY IN THE FIFTIES AND
AND THAT AREA WAS HARD FOR
ATHLETES TO STEP UP AND THEY
WERE ALL THERE OFTEN LOOKED DOWN
UPON IN THE AIR THAT WE SEE THAT
COLIN KAEPERNICK MOVEMENTS OF
TODAY.
HE STOPPED UP AND LEANED IN AND
SAID WHAT WAS WRONG WHEN HE
TRIED TO BUY A HOUSE.
IN BALTIMORE AFTER IS TRADED IN
HE AND HIS WIFE WERE TURNED DOWN
BECAUSE OF A RED LINING POLICIES
AND HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO
COME OUT.
OF JUST COMPLAINING BUT STEP UP
AND JOIN THE LOCAL AND DOUBLE
ACP SPEAK OUT AS FAR AS THE
INJUSTICES THAT HE FELT HE HAD
AN OBLIGATION --
HE REMEMBER THE OBLIGATION
BECAUSE HE CAME INTO.
THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
BUSINESS A FEW YEARS AFTER
JACKIE ROBINSON NO RELATION BUT
HE REMEMBERED BUT JACKIE
ROBINSON TALKED ABOUT WHEN HE
FIRST WAS A PLAYER.
AND THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON
FUTURE PLAYERS AS WELL AND HE
HAD AN OBLIGATION TO TO LEAD A
STANDARD THAT REALLY HELPS THOSE
BEHIND HIM.
SO WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO BECOME A
MAN IN THE MID SEVENTIES HE
REMEMBER THAT AND KNEW THAT HOW
HE ACTED UPON THIS JOB WOULD
CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE
BEHIND THEM.
AND HE TOOK HIS JOB FOR THE
CLEVELAND INDIANS AND THE CLIP
ANY IT SAYS WE WILL GIVE YOU
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE TO
BECOME A MANAGER.
WHICH WAS LAUGHABLE COMPARED TO
WHAT OTHER MANAGERS MADE WHO HAD
THE SAME JOB BUT HE SAID YOU
KNOW WHAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ME FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS I
WILL TAKE THIS JOB AS A PLAYER
COACH. FOR JUST AN ADDITIONAL
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND HE'S
CERTAINLY LEFT ITS MARK --
OTHER BLACK MANAGERS CAME CAME
AFTER HIM HE WAS --
RECOGNIZED IN TWO THOUSAND FIVE

FREEDOM AND AS HE WAS --
WINDING DOWN IN HIS --
HEALTH IN --

FOCUS ON HIS LEGACY SO HE ASKED
AT ALL --
