I do not collect autographs, but my mother in law met him once at an event and got him to sign a photo of himself for me, knowing I love baseball. She was absolutely impressed by him and his demeanor.
In this day and age, what a refreshing thing to see! Everything I've ever heard about Mr. Robinson is he was truly that nice of a person, maybe the Mr. Rogers of baseball.
I will toast to his memory tonight.
