I have a sharpie in my hand because Yount just knocked out an autograph for me on a Leatherstocking GC golf ball. We had a chance to talk with Robin and Larry a few times throughout the day. Robin Yount is truly one of the nicest players that I ever met and he's one hell of a golfer to boot!
Did anyone know that Robin Yount actually considered quitting baseball to persue a career as a PGA pro at one point? One terrific athlete and a great guy with no attitude.  |
Any idea how Larry views his (very brief) time in the big leagues? Must have been awfully tough to get so close (even worse than Moonlight Graham's story)
