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.

GOD Bless Eddie Robinson's soul, and comfort his Family and friends.
As an avid Yankees fan in the 1950's, Eddie was one of my favorites. I saw him hit some long HR's deep into the Right-Center-Field seats (or upper deck) of Yankee Stadium. Here he is in the centerfold of the 2nd issue of Sports Illustrated (Aug 23, 1954). ![]() TED Z T206 Reference . |

He was kind enough to sign for me back in December 2014, when I was getting started with my signed 1953 Topps project.

I didn't realize how extensive his MLB career was as a player, manager and GM until I read his obituary. Quite a lengthy career. My only Eddie Robinson card. RIP.

In 2011 I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Robinson at an event sponsored by the Philadelphia A's Historical Society....
For the occasion they had a limited amount of specially made Hartland statues available to have signed:
