friend of Bobby Richardson

[bgar3]

Played against his South Carolina team in 1970 and my recollection is that his shortstop was Whitey Ford’s son. My grandfather always thought he was was the best player in the “clutch” he ever saw.

at the sincerity and humbleness that Bobby displays. I've seen so many times someone hesitant to approach him particularly in a restaurant and in one minute Bobby makes the person feel Bobby is the one that wants to meet him.
You'll notice his autograph is precise. He said when he was a kid his dad took him to a Cardinal game and he got Stan Musial's autograph. Bobby was impressed that Musial took the time to sign his name clearly. Bobby told himself that if anyone ever wanted his autograph he would write it so it's exact. Check any Bobby Richardson autograph.
Around here he's known by Robert by his long time friends.
