I always say...I was born to late to see Ruth, the greatest home run hitter of all time. But I was born at the exact moment in order to witness with my own eyes, the greatest third basemen ever to walk out on to a diamond. As a boy, I could recite the starting line up by heart. I never once ever imagined a day would come, when Mr. Robinson wouldn't be standing next to the third base bag. Good players come once evry couple of decades, but the city of Baltimore is now doomed for eternity, when it comes to having a third basemen. Never, will this city, or the rest of the world, ever see the likes of him again.
