BIO: Robert L. Mitchell was born in 1932 and died in 2019. He played major league baseball from 1954 to 1957 as pitcher for the Kansas City Monarchs. Mitchell debuted with the Monarchs in 1954 and made his first appearance against the Indianapolis Clowns, in which he threw his fastball and his curveball. That was the first start of his four-year career with the Kansas City club. In 1956, Mitchell asked the then manager Jelly Taylor to let him pitch the game that evening in Canada, something pitchers did not do. He pitched a complete game victory while striking out 13 batters in his nine innings of work. He finished his Negro American League career with a 30-14 record.
