Bill "Bojangles" Robinson Cards
Posted By: Chad
Not as off topic as you think--he owned a stake and was an officer for the New York Black Yankees. Any chance there's a card of him, strip or otherwise, in existence? In fact, Besides Fatty Arbuckle, are there many celebrities that have been involved with a professional team in some capacity? |

Damn, I'm stupid sometimes. How could I forget the owner of the team I hated the most in the world! |

I believe Bing Crosby had a stake with the Pirates and was even on the cover of Sports Illustrated in this capacity. I also think that Bob Hope had a stake with the Indians around the same time. |

Joe E. Brown was part owner of the Pirates, I believe in the 1940's. |

Not sure if he is still involved with the team, but Bill Murray used to be part owner of the St. Paul Saints of the Independent League. Of course, Carl Spackler is the groundskeeper... |

I saw many years ago an album of cards from Cuba that had hundreds of celebrities of all sorts, mostly 20's and 30's. Can't remember, but there could have been a Bojangles. He was awfully famous. That could be a starting point. |

Could be an interesting pursuit. I wonder if you would consider Rothstein as having a piece of the White Sox action, for a while. |

If he did have a card, it'd be expensive. |

Bill Robinson co-starred with Shirley Temple in the 1935 film "The Little Colonel." Chad's card seems awfully close to depicting that. |
