Re: RIP Robin Roberts

Robin was a great pitcher... If they show any clips of him notice how similar he pitches to Tom Seaver... thats how good he was... (or Seaver pitches like him)

Re: RIP Robin Roberts

I remember meeting Robin Roberts during a 1978 Old Timer's Day game in San Diego . Nicest and friendliest guy in the world. In the locker room he carried around an old baseball encyclopedia -- you remember, the 10 pound copies? Every now and then he would check the book, then approach a player --- a Hall of Famer or Old Timer like himself, or a current member of the '78 Padres --- and politely ask if they would sign his book. He had carried it with him for a very long time based on the number of signatures he had in that book. Here are a couple pics from that day.
