On August 1, 1982, Frank Robinson and Hank Aaron went into The Hall of Fame. They were two of the greatest players of the post-war era.
Robinson and Aaron broke into the majors in the 1950's.
Robinson finished his career with a .294 average, 586 HR and 1,812 RBI. He won the 1961 NL MVP and 1966 AL MVP. He played in 5 World Series, 1 with the Reds and 4 with the Orioles.
Aaron left the game with a .305 batting average, 755 HR, 2,297 RBI & 3,771 hits. He was the 1957 NL MVP or the same year that the Braves won the World Series.
