I just saw that the oldest living baseball player, Eddie Robinson, passed on this week.
He was a guest as one of my shows and I tell the story of this nice man carrying in the box of books to sell. Well, that nice man was Eddie at age 93 or so carrying in the box himself. We also had him as a guest speaker at one of our Adat Chaverim brotherhood annual dinners and he told great stories. I always thought he would go forever, but the memories are wonderful https://www.star-telegram.com/sports...254779077.html

That is very sad news. He was in great shape when he signed autographs at my one-and-done show promoting. He was such a super nice gentleman. RIP Mr. Robinson..

Underrated player, and sounds like maybe an underrated guy. Wish I could've met him.
Oh a happier note, I don't know if the title passes to Bobby Shantz but we celebrated his 96th birthday at the last Philly show. He was there, as always.

Very lucky to have been to his house a few years ago and see all of the pictures and awards he had on the walls. He recanted the story behind every picture like it happened yesterday.
