Frank Robinson in the Hospital

Hall of Fame recipient Frank Robinson was taken to the hospital on Thursday morning.  The senior vice president for Major League Baseball, was transported by ambulance to a Scottsdale hospital after experiencing dizziness and an irregular heartbeat on Thursday morning.

Commissioner Bud Selig said tests on the 75-year-old have been negative for any serious problems.

Robinson experienced those symptoms while attending a session during baseball's quarterly owners' meetings.

Pat Courtney, a spokesman for MLB, said Robinson was conscious when he was taken away by ambulance to Scottsdale Memorial Hospital. Courtney said Robinson initially got up during the meeting, beckoned a couple of MLB officials and left the room, walking to the main lobby area of the Sanctuary resort under his own power.
