Part Three with Trayvon Robinson: Forgiveness and Gratitude

Trayvon Robinson admits that as a younger player, there were instances where he might not have conducted himself maturely. Being suddenly brought up to the Major Leagues by the Seattle Mariners and then swiftly relegated to the bench was a challenging experience that required time to overcome. Now, 37 years old and the hitting coach of the Lancaster Stormers, Robinson is only appreciative of the game and everyone that guided him through it.

He was named player/coach for the  Lancaster Stormers for the 2024 season. For the 2025 season, the word "player" would be removed from his job title.

"I'm thankful, [very thankful for being able to play 19 years.] Very thankful to people I crossed. Thankful for the people who coached me. Thankful for the people who were my teammates. Very thankful for clubhouse managers, umpires, grounds crew, everybody, man. Everybody who, wherever I shared a office with. You just never know who you'll meet. Never know who we'll reconnect. It's definitely a game I will give my life to. And I thank it. I thank it.  I'm thankful for what it has done to me. It made me available, got me out of some shitty situations, gave me peace, gave me some shitty situations [laughs.] Yeah, I can't say I'm thankful enough.  I just ask for forgiveness for everybody that took me the wrong way and misunderstood me. It's all love. It's all love."

In addition to his duties as a professional hitting coach, Trayvon is also a part of the S.M.I.L.E. Zone with former MLB pitcher Jay Jackson.
