He also owned a restaurant with Brooks Robinson near Memorial Stadium (Gorsuch House).....
About 10 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting him in Horsham (PA) at an event organized by the Philadelphia A's Historical Society & they produced a special Hartland statue of him for the occasion (which I had signed).
RIP Eddie

Bill,
I didn’t hear about his passing till your note. Thanks for informing; we’re losing so many of the O’s of the past.
