Earl John Robinson (November 3, 1936 – July 4, 2014) was an American professional baseball outfielder and third baseman who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles. He attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he played both baseball and basketball, helping Cal to three straight conference titles in basketball from 1956 to 1958.[1] Born in New Orleans, Robinson attended Berkeley High School in the San Francisco Bay Area before matriculating at Cal.
Robinson threw and batted right-handed, stood Шаблон:Convert tall and weighed Шаблон:Convert. He signed with the Dodgers in 1958, their first year in Los Angeles. After spending the minor league season at Class B Green Bay, he received an eight-game audition that September, including five starts at third base. He played errorless ball, handling 14 chances in the field, and collected three singles in 15 at bats. Robinson then spent both 1959 and 1960 in Triple-A. His contract was sold to the Orioles on December 15, 1960, the last day of the interleague trading period then in force.

In his final stint with Baltimore, in Шаблон:Mlby, Robinson was called up from Triple-A Rochester in July, and served as a backup left fielder and center fielder through the end of the season. He hit .273 in 37 games.
The 1964 season was Robinson's last in the major leagues. He appeared in 170 games played, and collected 113 hits, including 20 doubles, five triples and 12 home runs. He batted .268 with 44 runs batted in. Robinson concluded his pro career after spending 1965 at Triple-A in the Chicago Cubs' organization.
Robinson was inducted to the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988.[2] He was inducted into the Pac-10 Basketball Hall of Honor in 2010.[3] Robinson died July 4, 2014, after suffering from congestive heart failure and two heart attacks.[1][4]
