Bob Robertson is a local legend around Western Maryland. He grew up 15 minutes away from where Lefty Grove and I grew up. I saw him in 1989. That was my senior year and last year of high school baseball. We had a scrimmage with another team and Bob was there giving the first baseman on the other team some tips.
There are stories about him hitting the ball 500 feet in high school. He was good at a lot of different sports, including baseball and basketball.
