Uncle Robbie (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780910137768)

Hall of Fame member Wilbert Robinson began his career as a catcher. As a Baltimore Oriole in the 1890s the hard-nosed but congenial receiver joined John McGraw, Wee Willie Keeler, and other greats on the roughest team of the game's toughest era. He went on to make a reputation with McGraw's New York Giants as a great developer of pitchers. Subsequently he took over the Brooklyn Dodgers, quickly turning them into pennant winners and gradually becoming the borough's beloved Uncle Robbie.
