One Of Baseballs Greatest Says Goodbye

Although I am a die hard sports fan, after all I live in Chicago and here it's hard not to be, this blog is not a sports blog and I usually leave the sports off the page and focus on the crazy world events that are driving our country mad now more than ever.

But, when anybody has been doing anything as good and as long as legend Frank Robinson has one must stand up and pay respect, as he has been in baseball 10 years longer than I have been alive. Although he wasn't on the most winningest teams as either a player, coach or manager, he undoubtedly still went out a winner this past weekend saying goodbye to baseball and it's millions of fans with one last....loss. :-(
Respect comes full circle as Robinson says goodbye - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "The whole weekend -- three days of tributes, tears and thanks for Frank Robinson -- really could be boiled down to one, heartfelt sentence from the 71-year-old baseball giant to the assembled gathering at RFK Stadium before yesterday's season finale.

'I've never done anything harder than I have to do right now,' the outgoing Washington Nationals manager said. 'And that's to say goodbye.'

Robinson said farewell to life in the major leagues, the only life he has known for 51 years, with something he experienced far too often during his managerial career: a loss. The Nationals dug themselves into an early hole against the New York Mets and could not rally to send their manager out in style, falling 6-2 before a crowd of 29,044 that was more interested in honoring Robinson than cheering on a victory.
