Sad News-- Eddie Robinson

[tedzan]

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).

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

Rest in Peace Sir!

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:

I echo the sentiments on this post. Since nobody seems to have mentioned it, over the last year Eddie has recorded a podcast sharing stories of his playing days. If you're not familiar with it, do yourselves a favor and seek out "The Golden Age of Baseball with Eddie Robinson"; you won't be disappointed.

Bill that's a really cool Hartland

I discovered his podcast about a month ago, and ive really enjoyed listening to each episode. In fact, I just purchased a 51B to send to him to sign...
