A Baseball Hall of Famer and a great Spartan!

Sail on Robin - thanks for some great Phillies memories.

Sail on, Robin.

A great pitcher who actually pitched for the Orioles at the end of his career.......sail on Robin

Sorry, no disrespect intended, but am I the only one who thought of the former sportscaster??

Greator Philly folks probably thought of the ball player. Not many of that team left around anymore

Thanks Chris - great story. 609 starts with more than 50% complete games - WOW. His career spanned from 1948 to 1966. There's no question he was one of the top pitchers of the 1950's and early 60's but I do think baseball history has left Robin behind for the names like Whitey Ford, Warren Spahn, Don Drysdale, Sandy Koufax, Juan Marichal, Bob Gibson, and Jim Bunning.

Here's one more link to the Philadelphia Inquirer....some good stuff here about the 1950 World Series and the Yanks.

OH HOLEY SCHMOLEY, that is EXACTLY who I though of!!! Don't scare an old woman in the middle of the night. She-Robin has long been one of my favorites and I immediately (and mistakenly) thought she had sucummed to the breast cancer. So sorry the sportscaster has passed, however am still amazingly relieved
