Another childhood hero is gone.

As a kid, I not only played baseball, I also collected baseball cards. I had shoe boxes filled with cards and I remember hours spent trading and comparing cards with my friends. There were four coveted cards and I had three of them: Carl Yastrzemski, Mickey Mantle and Frank Robinson.

For the record, the fourth card was Ted Williams but no one had him. We were all 2 years old when he retired in 1960 so only one kid had his card. And he wasn't giving it up.

Frank was a not only a great ball player and manager, he was gentlemen. Personally, I think the sports world could use more Frank Robinsons.
