RIP Eddie Robinson

[dano7]

Baseball's oldest living player died yesterday at age 100. Great TTM signer and ambassador for baseball.

Sad to hear. I know he was on the 1950s Yankees teams, didn't know much else about him until now.

Last living player to have career interrupted by WWII.

Sad news, for sure. Here's a card that I got signed by him last year.

Nice! I think the 1953 might be the only Topps card I don't have signed by him, though I didn't check for 1950 and prior.

What a great looking signature.

I've listened to his podcast off and on for a while. I don't know why I never added a signed card of his. Guess I'll have to start looking.
