MLB's Oldest Living Player- Eddie Robinson- Celebrating 100th Birthday - 12/15/2020
I received an email from my good, local friend John Esch (hi John) today. He reminded me of the MLB's oldest living players birthday this coming Tuesday, Mr. Eddie Robinson (hi Mr. Robinson). He asked if I could help spread the word a little? Having met Mr. Robinson several times, and after helping promote a show with him as a signer, it is my absolute pleasure to help. He is the most cordial 100 yrs. old person I know!! (and the only one too)
Here is the note from this morning- "Eddie will be celebrating his 100th birthday on Tuesday, December 15. Still in excellent health with a mental acuity that we all might envy. There will be a drive by party for him tomorrow. His "Lucky Me" memoirs that he wrote with Paul Rogers, is one of the best reads of 40's through 70's baseball around. I'm not versed in starting threads or posting on threads on net 54, but if one got started, I'd be sure that Eddie gets to see it." Here's to Mr. Robinson's 100th Birthday, and many more!! Here is a way to get his book- Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=eddie+rob...ss_ts-a-p_4_14.   .

He had a brief stay in Washington
Congratulations to Eddie! He played for Washington in 1949 and 1950. He played as expected, but his acquisition proved very costly as a prospect thrown in by Washington became Early Wynn.

I also had Eddie as a signer at one of my shows plus he was a speaker at our Synagogue one year.
He's great and when I saw him a couple of years ago at a SABR meeting he knew he knew me and we had a nice chat at that point. Rich

Happy Birthday.
The 57 Topps was one of my earliest cards. I've had it in my collection for over 45 years. The 52 black back is from last year when I started working on the set.
