Lest we forget: Eddie Robinson

October 7, 2021

We lost another baseball lifer with the passing of Eddie Robinson on Monday at the age of 100. Here’s the New York Times obituary by Richard Goldstein. He enjoyed a 13 year career, spent entirely in the American League where he played on every team except the Boston Red Sox.

Robinson, the oldest former big leaguer at the time of his demise, published his memoirs — Lucky Me: My Sixty-Five Years in Baseball (written with C. Paul Rogers III) — in 2011.
