He played baseball his entire life and now cherishes his successful baseball career even more. Robinson played with theMENTAL HEALTH:"I call them the three ingredients for recipe of disaster where at the end of 2019 season, I had a season-ending injury that needed surgery, then was ultimately released with a couple months left in the season, so I was sent home and really just kind of fearful of my career coming to an end," explains Robinson.
Robinson is truly a comeback kid! After signing with the San Francisco Giants, he hit his first home run with the team, more meaningful than ever, since he was now having to play with only one eye after his attempt at suicide. He soon decided though to take a different set of skills off-field and is now the mental health advocate for the Giants.
"It's not what we do with the traumas or stresses that we go through, but it's how we deal with it and the growth that Drew has shown in the last two, three years is phenomenal, because he'll be the first one to say, still have some struggles, but we all do. That's really what we're trying to share is that we all have a mental health journey, but can we seek the help that we need, can we be there for ourselves," stated Dr. Zand.
