I thought that it would only be fitting that I posted the Bill Robinson message, as the proud owner of many Bill Robinson game worn and autographed items.

I first began collecting Robinson items just a couple of years ago, as he was a player I watched growing up, was a key part of the 1986 Mets WS Championship, 1979 Pirates WS Championship and has always been considered one of the true gentlemen and role-model of the game, through his hard work ethic and strong family values.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill just a few months ago at an MAB signing, and talking to him about his days as a coach with the Mets.

I am sure he will be missed, as he brought a lot to the game, as a player, role-model and teacher. RIP, Bill.
