Default OT: RIP Robin Roberts

From MLB.com:

"Hall of Fame pitcher Robin Roberts, who spent 19 years in the big leagues, mostly with the Phillies, died on Thursday from natural causes in his Temple Terrace, Fla., home. He was 83."

Tough week for baseball....

One of the "Whiz Kids" of my youth. All those ancient boys of summer, old men now or sadly gone. RIP Robin Roberts.

Default Unfortunate news

I spent the afternoon with Mr. Roberts about 20 years ago and he was not only a gentleman but very cordial and accomodating to all. He will be greatly missed, may the Lord be with his family. Goodbye Robin!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Mr Roberts at an All Star Game a few years back. He looked to be in great condition and was very gracious. Despite his age, I was surprised to hear the news. I will remember him well.
