Hall of Fame member Wilbert Robinson began his career as a catcher. As a Baltimore Oriole in the 1890s the hard-nosed but congenial receiver joined John McGraw, Wee Willie Keeler, and other greats on the roughest team of the gameâ€™s toughest era. He went on to make a reputation with McGrawâ€™s New York Giants as a great developerÂ of pitchers. Subsequently he took over the Brooklyn Dodgers, quickly turning them into pennant winners and gradually becoming the boroughâ€™s beloved Uncle Robbie.
