Career highlights and awards

Don Allen Robinson (born June 8, 1957 in Ashland, Kentucky), was a former Major League Baseball pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants, California Angels, and Philadelphia Phillies from 1978 through 1992. Nicknamed "The Caveman," Robinson's career record was 109-106 with a 3.79 ERA. Robinson was regarded as one of the best-hitting pitchers during his time, winning three Silver Slugger Awards in 1982, 1989, and 1990. He hit 13 home runs in his career. He was also awarded the Hutch Award in 1984.

In 1990, Robinson became the first pitcher to hit a pinch-hit home run since 1971 against the San Diego Padres; the same year, he lost the first ever no-hitter at Veteran's Stadium to the Phillies' Terry Mulholland 6-0.

He serves on the city council of his home town of Kenova, West Virginia
