Eddie Robinson Talks about 65 years in baseball- Allen TX Library- August 29,2013

We had Eddie as a guest at our yearly Adat Chaverim Brotherhood (Men's Club) Meeting 2 years ago. I think they sold about 25-30 books and when Paul Rogers was nice enough to have Dr. Bobby Brown come and speak to us this year (I finally got to hear him speak after missing him at a SABR meeting way back in the day). Both Eddie and the good Doctor were tremendous speakers.

And, when I got the official word that we had secured Dr. Brown for this year, many of our guests who were attending all asked me if Dr. Brown had a book the way Eddie did. Well not for Dr. Brown but yes for Eddie and I highly recommend purchasing the tome. I think the cost will be $25 or so.

The 29th is a work night for me, but I will do my best to attend --- and hear some more of Eddie's stories. And if you really want to make Eddie feel good, thank him for all the tireless work he did for older baseball players whose pensions are not as good as today's players. He helped broker a tremendous settlement for players who retired, if my memory serves me correctly, before 1980.
