Robinson’s dramatic catch saves Orioles win in opener
In a tense first game of a doubleheader, Frank Robinson leaped at the 14-foot fence to catch Roy White’s deep drive and preserve a 7-5 victory for Baltimore over New York. The play sparked controversy as Yankee manager Ralph Houk argued the call, while Robinson later battled a fan for the ball during another near miss. The second game saw New York win 3-0 as Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas City, and California posted various scores around the league.
