“Look at the names in the Jackie Robinson Wing, ... Steve Young, Dorothy Hamill. The Jackie Robinson Wing. Goodness gracious . . .That's top shelf.”

“[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
“In fairness to Dmitri Young, if you're going out there and asking him to be Brooks Robinson and you don't think he's going to make an error now and then, you shouldn't do it. What you do is pick your spots. I think he's a pretty good athlete, I think he's got good hands, and I know he can hit. I've always liked him.”
Jim Leyland
“She got her son named Robinson. But when little Ray ((Ray Jr.)) went out there, he was pushed to the back. Just like Leonard. Just took Ray's glory. Millie doesn't care who doesn't like what. She keeps Ray shut away because somebody would see how bad off he is. Evelyn says it's bad. My chances of ever seeing Ray again are poor. If I didn't have Jesus, I wouldn't survive. I would lose my mind. It would hurt me not to be able to even talk to Ray. It brings tears to my eyes just to think about him. I want to do what's right, but what is right these days?”
Leila Smith
“He's a young David Robinson with a better jump shot.”
Avery Johnson
“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
“The baby is fine, the only problem is that he looks like Edward G. Robinson.”
Woody Allen
