RIP Robin Roberts

Today baseball lost another legend and Hall of Famer...Also a former Baltimore Oriole. Robin Roberts thoroughly dominated the NL between 1952 & 1955 as a member of the Phillies with nearly 4-1 K to BB ratios in 2 of those years. However, in 1962 Roberts became a member of the Orioles after a 1-10 season in Philly and a coffee break with the New York Yankees. He was with the team for 4 years, posting a 3.09 ERA and a 1.145 WHIP during that time...Not too shabby. He won 42 games and recorded 398 strikeouts. So, to an Oriole pitcher that puts are current bunch to shame, thanks for the memories, Mr. Roberts. More later...
