Sorry to name drop but how's this for a real life foursome, Brooks Robinson, Gayle Sayers and Bobby Orr? I had a once in a lifetime chance to play a round of golf with all of them at an event we did a few years ago?

While teeing it up with Mr Sayers and Mr. Orr was very cool, I was in awe of meeting Brooks Robinson.

I can remember it like it was yesterday… 1970, game 5, attending my first World Series game. Brooks Robinson makes a diving backhand stab to take a sure double away from my hero Johnny Bench in the 5th. The $%#%^ then does it again in the 9th! From that time on I have had a true love/hate relationship with Mr. Robinson. He became my favorite “non Red” player of all time.

To actually play golf with him… it was such a great experience that I almost forgave him for what he did to my Reds. Almost, but not quite, the hurt runs deep.
