PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — Hall of Famer Frank Robinson has taken by ambulance to a hospital with what has been described as dizziness and a rapid heartbeat.

Robinson was at a Phoenix-area resort as baseball’s owners concluded two days of meetings Thursday.

Robinson was in a meeting of owners and general managers when he fell ill. MLB spokesman Pat Courtney says Robinson walked out on his own, then was taken to a hospital for observation.

The 75-year-old Robinson, a member of the Hall of Fame since 1982, is senior vice president for baseball operations in the commissioner’s office.
