LUCKY HIM
Baseball player Eddie Robinson has died aged 100. Robinson played for a variety of teams including the Senators, the White Sox and the Yankees, but he was best known for his tenure with the Cleveland Indians where he won the 1948 World Series. His two terms with Cleveland were interrupted by World War II, when he was enlisted in the Navy. After playing he took up a number of coaching roles, which culminated with a run in the 1970s as the general manager of the Atlanta Braves. He was at the time of his death the only living baseball player to have won the World Series with Cleveland. Eddie Robinson was picked by two teams, NoSoup4U and everyone’s favourite mercurial Detroiters, Cancel My Appointments.
