From the Tallahassee Democrat, March 1, 1999, page 13. Former FSU
pitcher Robinson dies. The Associated Press TUCSON, Ariz. - Former Florida State and major league pitcher Ken Robinson is dead, and a fellow minor leaguer in the Arizona Diamondbacks' organization is charged with second-degree murder after an alcohol-related auto accident Sunday. Police said Robinson, a 29-year-old right-hander who pitched for Toronto and Kansas City, was pronounced dead at the scene of the early-morning accident. The driver, pitcher John Rosengren, was being held in the Pima County Jail. Rosengren, 26, of Barrington, Ill., showed signs of impairment, and a blood sample was taken, ploice said. Police said Rosengren's car went off the road and overturned. Paramedics arrived at 1:40 a.m. to find both men in the vehicle. Robinson had a severe head injury, police said. Rosengren was not injured. Neither player was wearing a seat belt. Robinson pitched on the 1991 FSU team that went 57-14 and went to the College World Series. After that season, he was selected in the 10th round by the Toronto Blue Jays. He had been a part of the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster in spring training a year ago, but missed the season because of shoulder surgery. He and Rosengren, who also missed all of last season after arm surgery, were awaiting the opening of the Diamondbacks' minor league training camp. "This is a sad and tragic day for me personally," said Diamondbacks manager Buck Showalter. "The organization will miss Ken Robinson, both as a person and as a player. "He was a competitor in every sense of the word." Robinson had had brief big league stints as a relief pitcher with Toronto in 1995 and 1997, and with Kansas City in 1996. He spent most of 1997 with Triple-A Syracuse, where he was 7-7 with a 3.56 ERA. Robinson appeared in 21 games for Toronto in 1995, compiling a 1-2 record with a 3.69 ERA. During his three games with Toronto in 1997, he allowed just one hit, Cecil Fielder's 300th career home run in Yankees Stadium.
