Indians Legend Annoyed

10/25/16


ALHAMBRA, CA - The mood in Cleveland this week has been exciting, but the joy hasn't been shared hasn't been shared by Eddie Robinson on Tuesday just before game one.

Robinson, 95, the last member of the 1948 Indians championship team, is upset that he hasn’t heard from the organization during the it’s run to the 2016 World Series.

After learning of his story, Indians fans are pushing for Robinson to throw the first pitch instead of Charlie Sheen. Sheen played the role of Indians pitcher Rick Vaughn in the movie, Major League.

Robinson is confused as to why the Indians haven't reached out to him and hopes the media will help.

The Indians have already announced that former Indians outfielder Kenny Lofton will throw the first pitch in game one Tuesday night.

Former second baseman Carlos Baerga will throw the first pitch in game two on Wednesday.

Lofton and Baerga were teammates on the 1995 Indians team that went to the World Series, but lost to the Atlanta Braves in six games.

Robinson says he doesn't hold any grudges and will still support the Indians in the World Series.

It is unknown if the Indians will ask Robinson and take part in the World Series.

The 29-year-old athlete was signing autographs for fans after a game in Glendale, Arizona when a fan, 20 feet away from him, suffered a seizure. Brandon Berry regained consciousness after Tebow walked over and had his hand on his leg while praying for him. 

Berry, 30, was at the game to see how the former football star adapts to the game of baseball in near 100 degrees weather.

Tebow struggled in his first game with the Scottsdale Scorpions, the Mets’ instructional league team, going zero for three and ran into the wall trying to catch a fly ball.

Tebow stayed with Berry and talked college football until the paramedics took Berry to the hospital. Berry told the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner that he grew up rooting for Georgia football, a SEC rival of the Tebow’s Florida Gators. 

Tebow says it was the right choice to stay with Berry instead of getting home 15 minutes sooner and that there is no greater thing that you can do in life than to be there for people in time of need.
