I wish I'd known about this event beforehand. Robert's a great guy. Met him in Cooperstown on induction weekend a few times. Last time, we talked not about baseball but about his excellent taste and wisdom in setting up his table right next to where they were selling the sausage sandwiches.

Hopefully he'll be in C-Town in July, as I'm thinking of heading up for induction Saturday (lotsa players roaming around) and driving home early on Sunday to catch the ceremony on TV. (That field at the Clark Sports Center is brutal, man. Any of you who were there the year of Dave Winfield's speech know exactly what I'm talking about.)
