Black and white photograph of Cleveland Indians Manager Frank Robinson in full uniform. Robinson is visible from the waist up and is wearing a dark jersey and cap with the "C" logo. His left finger is in his left ear and he appears to be standing in the dugout. There are three captions affixed to back reading: "Robby Idled: Manager Frank Robinson, who says he doesn't expect to play but might at some future time, has put himself on the 15-day disabled reserve list. It's a move designed to give the Cleveland Indians the maximum 25 man roster for tomorrow's opener with the visiting Detroit Tigers in an afternoon clash;" "Tribune Photo by ROBERT STINNETT / Indian Manager Frank Robinson feuds with umps, players;" and "It was a slightly cool but sunny day at the Coliseum, a time for relaxing and enjoying a ball game, but for umpire Marty Springstead it was like being in a torture chamber as he absorbed incessant verbal abuse from the Cleveland dugout. But enough is enough, as the expression caught by Tribune photographer Robert Stinnett indicates so well, and Marty emphatically ordered an end to the carping. Indian manager Frank Robinson's response? He just plugged his hears." Margins of photograph have crossed out notes and cropping registration marks used for reproduction purposes.
