Doug Dixon

Alan Peacock
Dale Robinson has made more plays that anyone could have imagined.
Brent Venables
You had thoughts of it. When I was a kid [before] Jackie Robinson integrated baseball, he played for Montreal, which played against Buffalo, and I would go watch them play. They were one step [away] from the majors - guys like Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe. . . . I thought about being in that position, and there were many, many people who thought that I would make it.
Ted Wyatt
[There are many other reasons for deciding to use Linux. But as I think about this question, I'm reminded of a poem by Robinson Jeffers entitled] The Beauty of Things. ... reasons, but not the reason.
Robinson Jeffers
I didn't know anything about this guy but I know he beat Ivan Robinson, who beat Arturo Gatti back in the day. So I took this as if I was fighting a world champion. I always do that. I took him seriously.
Jesus Rodriguez
We're sad to be losing such a great asset but we know Don Robinson as a true friend to Galesburg Cottage Hospital. We thank Don for his sage advice and his dedication to Galesburg Cottage Hospital.
Steve Patonai
This team fought hard all night. We are a very confident club right now. Last night it was Clint Robinson with the big hit. Tonight it was Blake Green that delivered big.
Mike Felix
Last year, the offense, we weren't able to put up that many points. This year we have weapons like Derrick Williams, Justin King, Michael Robinson at quarterback. I'm anxious to see how that turns out.
Jay Alford
They certainly have a high-powered offense. They mix it up pretty well. We certainly don't have the speed of Robinson in our backfield anymore, but we'll have to grind it out. We're more of a power team this season.
Ron Hilliard

You find running backs with one or even two of those qualities. But very few have all four at such a high level as Carl Robinson.
Doug Dixon
With Robinson, the one thing I like about him is that he is pretty solid. I don't think he has had a wobbly game. He is going to be the number one and I am pretty hopeful he will do well.

I heard all the black people buzzing about this man in Brooklyn named Jackie Robinson. I asked who he was and they told me. Right then, I said, 'I want to play for the Dodgers someday.' That was my childhood dream.
Maury Wills
It was just a post and a comeback. Laurent ran the post and we had a comeback on the backside. We were just trying to get them with the play-fake. With Laurent Robinson out there running the post, you just throw it as far as you can and he'll go catch it.
Kevin Brockway
Daniel from the first day was determined he was not going to be left [behind Robinson]. He's extremely competitive. We pretty much knew immediately he was going to be one of the top runners on the team.
Katrina Van Tassel
With Robinson, you have to remember his son was in Vietnam. If you have children there you want to believe the cause is noble, or you want to get them home.

Luis Ayala

It's just a few of us left, especially the old-timers. The guys after Jackie Robinson, we got quite a few of those left. But the guys before Jackie Robinson, there's very few of us left.

His consecration in November 2003 was described by the conservative American Anglican Council as a] grievous day ... The devil has entered our church.
Archbishop Of Canterbury
It's heartbreaking, ... Every coach would tell you that they would love to be able to sit back and lick their wounds, but they got Robinson next week and it's not a district for the weak and they are not weak, so I have a feeling they will bounce back and play hard.
Joe Thompson
When we went around in the alley, (Robinson) was heading eastbound in the alley. So we kind of flipped around, he kind of (saw) us in the corner of his eye and he started heading back to his residence. So he knew he had a warrant.
Aaron Adams
Anybody would be disappointed (after Robinson chose Patterson) with what I put into it.
Joe Fields
He could handle longtime stars like Joan Blondell and Edward G. Robinson, and he also could handle Steve McQueen. Norman stepped in at the last moment (Sam Peckinpah had been fired after a week's filming), and that's not an easy thing to do.
Karl Malden
Amelia Robinson is a firecracker. Her art is expressive, and that's what I like ...
Daniel Pendergrass
He looks ready to take over for Robinson. His score got us back in the game.
Ron Hilliard
There's nothing sinister there. Our doctor, Deb (Robinson), caught up with him on Saturday and he just took a knock to it. He should be fine.
Robbie Deans
[Talking for an hour with Clem Labine, it was obvious how much he loves baseball and its players, both past and present. He spoke about how he?d come out for batting practice just to watch Jackie Robinson hit, that] poor Newcombe was such a great pitcher and never got the recognition. ... the best out there.
Billy Cox
He was our Jackie Robinson, ... He wanted to make sure you had a place to live, that you were getting food to eat. Some guys, they only learned enough English to order one thing. He wanted to make sure you had money. If you didn't have money for something, he would give it to you.
Orlando Cepeda
Each player should be treated as an individual. I said right from the start that I trusted Pat. I've spoken to Robinson and it won't become an issue between us.
Martin Corry
We were inspired by the success of our inaugural charity auction, and overwhelmed by the many positive responses we have once again received to this wonderful opportunity. We are heartened by the generosity of those who have donated items, and look forward to attracting a new group of fans to Jackie Robinson's living legacy and the work that we do at the Jackie Robinson Foundation.
Della Britton Baeza
John Robinson will be missed. He is a good public servant and always had the best interest of the city in mind.
Mayor Sebastian Giuliano
Hodson played very well down the stretch and had 11 rebounds to go with his 12 points. He and Robinson gave us a lot tonight. Robinson did a great job around the glass and they turned nine House assists into points.

Susan Robinson was the first of the co-defendants to provide a truthful statement that helped the Duluth Police Department solve the case.

David Seaman
I appreciate that [Robinson] told me exactly what I needed to do. That made it easier for me. It was a good competition and a fair competition. I'm happy about that, too.
Brandon Watson
Everybody has heard about Jackie Robinson, but you don't hear as much about the great ones who came before Jackie. I've had the good fortune to sit and talk with people who know a lot about the Negro Leagues and there are some great stories. It makes you want to go do more research about those individuals who made it all happen. It's a thrill that they are being recognized.
Billy Hatcher

I was built for this. I got those survival instincts. I'm like Robinson Crusoe, a neighborhood MacGyver.
Clarence Rodriguez
I must wonder how in this day and age, the company's board of directors has not held you (Robinson) and Paul Maier responsible for your respective failures and shown you both the door long ago – accompanied by a well worn boot planted in the backside.
Daniel Loeb
Our defense has played fairly well. In the Robinson game, we gave up some yards, but that's a little misleading. We were able to keep them out of the end zone, and that is what is most important statistically.
Ron Massey
The thing for Andy Robinson is he has a huge amount of strength and depth to choose form now and that is what we need for a successful England side.
Martin Corry
When people write about what college football is all about they should write about Michael Robinson. He's everything that's good about the game.

Marlon Byrd
I would like to congratulate Liz Robinson on her achievement.
Jacqui Smith
I learned a lot of things from Robinson last year, and one of the biggest things I learned was his leadership and the way he led the team on and off the field. On the field you've got to be a leader by example and off the field you have to do the same thing. Sometimes you've got to keep some guys in line and grab them.
Anthony Morelli
He told me he was hopeful of getting Negro players into the game. He was very sure about it. He was a very religious man. That was 15 years before Jackie Robinson.
Howdy Groskloss
[Two other books I recommend are] What I Learned from Jackie Robinson ... Voices of Summer.
Carl Erskine
Kevin Robinson was one of the best hires I have made in this department.
Dick Baddour
I told [Robinson-Miller] to be aggressive. He's looking better and better in the playoffs.

It was a great day for those young men and a great day for the Robinson football program. We had an exciting year (going 6-5 and reaching the playoffs), and I just couldn't be happier for these young men.
Mike Depue
[John Robinson also told him the baby's name was Tiffany, he said.] We named her Heather Tiffany Robinson, ... That was the name her mother had given her, so we wanted to keep that in some way.
Don Robinson
I think they've proved they can be balanced, but Hanni and Robinson have been the guys for them most of the year. Robinson is a very smart player, and Hanni can play inside or outside. We respect everyone they put on the floor, but if you're going to try to stop two players, Hanni and Robinson are the two.
Leo Klemm
When you got Shutts and Bowen, you got Gray, Harris [& Robinson] law firm, you've got KMPG accountants; I don't think you can go wrong when you've got some of the best in the business, ... I don't think they gave me any bad advice, and that's why I feel comfortable with this.
Kevin Beary
Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson in 1945 and he went to the minor leagues and then to Montreal in 1946 before being called up to the majors with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. That one move still has a huge impact on baseball almost 60 years later.
Larry Hartzell
We got to keep our heads up and play the ball we've been playing. We got to beat Robinson. We have to beat them.
Anthony Allen
One of the perks of being an actor is to get to meet athletes that you respect. Especially who played before my time. Brooks Robinson is one of those athletes; they just don't make them any nicer.
Josh Charles
Not in my neighborhood, Mr. Robinson.
Dikembe Mutombo
I would go anywhere to see Brooks Robinson. He was the best third baseman ever. Nobody played third base like Brooks, and he was one of the nicest guys to ever play the game.
Jerry Carter
There's definitely a growing gap between African-American culture and baseball. The doors Jackie Robinson worked on opening may not be closing, but the hinges are definitely getting rusty.
David Ogden
So you've been wondering about Jackie Robinson, eh?
Jim Coleman
You feel good about (Robinson). You have 90 percent of the player you are looking for because you have the attitude, the toughness, the intelligence. Now the 10 percent you don't know is about the conversion. (But) you know he's going to do everything he can to make the conversion.
Scot Mccloughan

Calvin Murphy
We're playing in the Jackie Robinson Conference, which is the best conference in the Public League. We know we have to come ready to play every game.
Kenny Fullman
The story of Jackie Robinson is bigger than baseball. Integration at that time was a radical idea; segregation was standard and it was the law.
Bill Schumann
[But even though Spurs forward Glenn Robinson never has been a player to doubt his abilities, he said he realizes he can't expect to be as big a factor in the playoffs as he was the past few weeks.] I know deep down I'm not ready, ... This is a tough organization to come right in (and play). I've only been here for three weeks.
Glenn Robinson
It will be interesting to see if the guys who are caught walk up to a Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson and say to them.
Phil Niekro
A manager should stay as far away as possible from his players. I don't know if I said ten words to Frank Robinson while he played for me.
Earl Weaver
If you made a mistake on the field, he just chewed you out when he got back to the dugout. It made you angry that one of your teammates was snapping at you. But you look back and say, that was Frank Robinson. If he can't tell you what the heck to do, if he sees something you're not doing, who are you to tell him any different?
