RIP.
Being an Indians fan, I know they will do well and have a season-long memorial for him. I'd imagine the Reds, Angels, Dodgers, and Orioles will all do the same - especially the former & latter.

He was overshadowed by Mays, Mantle, and then Aaron, but what a great baseball player. Imagine, traded for Milt Pappas.

In late 1981 or 1982, I was standing (hunched over my treasure, really) in the rain outside the players parking lot at Candlestick after a rained out Giants game when he drove past me, then stopped and backed up.
He rolled down his window and asked "What are you doing standing there?" "I was hoping I could get you to sign this baseball" I told him, as I reached it into his car to avoid the wet, and pointed out that it already had Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and a few other HR hitters of note. "This is a nice ball", he said "what if I just drive away with it?" he chuckled. "Please don't" I said, as the rain came down a bit harder. He smiled as he found a good spot on the ball, signed a beautiful signature, carefully handed it back to me avoiding the rain, and said "thank you, now get out of the rain". "Thank you!", I said and headed to my car to make the 93 mile drive home. Thank you again, Mr. Robinson. Doug
