Wilbert "Uncle Robbie" Robinson Dies at 71

Legend Managed Brooklyn Ballclub from 1914-1931

Wilbert Robinson, the former manager of the Brooklyn ballclub died last night following a brain hemmorage in his suburban Atlanta home last night. The hemmorage followed a slip and fall in a shower. Robinson slipped into a coma, and did not emerge.

Robinson played professional baseball from 1886 to 1902, mostly with the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association and the Baltimore Orioles of the National League.

Robinson, commonly known as "Uncle Robbie" had become a Brooklyn institution. After his 1931 retirement, he moved to Dover Hall, Georgia, where Robinson took hunting trips. In the past two years, he has managed the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern Association.

During his tenure, Brooklyn won NL pennants in 1916 and again in 1920. His lifetime record was nearly even at 1399 wins and 1398 losses. Robinson is the second legendary baseball manager to die this year. Long time New York Giants manager John McGraw died this February.

Current Brooklyn manager Casey Stengal relased the following statement about Robinson:

He was the finest man I ever knew in baseball and I felt his loss almost as much
as if he had been a close relative. I served under Uncle Robbie for seven
years. He not only taught me how to play the outfield but he taught me how
to live. I regard my after-game conversations with Robbie and his evening
fanning bees as the most enjoyable moments of my career. Baseball was its
pleasantest with Robbie around.

Ed. note: Robinson was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1945. A short biographical sketch can be found here.

Boston drew first blood jumping out to an early lead in the first inning plating an isolated run utilizing 2 base hits. Philadelphia went down without a fight in the bottom of the 9th. Ferrell(11-3) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. The loss was charged to Joe Cascarella(6-6). He allowed 7 hits and 6 walks in 7 innings.

He stroked a base-hit which was good for two runs in the 1st inning, lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 10th of the season) in the 4th inning, tripled plating a run in the 5th inning and tripled which plated a run in the 8th inning. Cleveland kept the scorekeepers busy in the 5th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 5 hits and the 7th inning when they had 5 runs on 3 hits.

Gehrig had a big day against Washington. He launched a rocket-shot out of the park for a Grand Slam homerun (his 32nd of the season) in the 5th inning and laced a base-knock knocking in a run in the 5th inning. New York bats were hot in the 5th inning with 12 runs on 10 hits. New York finished with 21 hits in the victory. The win was credited to Ruffing(10-8) who went the whole way allowing 4 runs. Earl Whitehill(13-9) was the losing pitcher. He was knocked around, surrendering 7 runs in 4 innings. ST. LOUIS AT DETROIT Browns.......... 3 0 0 2 4 0 1 2 1 - 13 22 1 Tigers.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 6 2 Win:Wells(3-7) Loss:Crowder(5-6) Homeruns- J.Burns(12th), O.Melillo(2nd) Jack Burns had 4 hits and 3 RBI as the St. Louis Browns ballclub embarrassed the Detroit Tigers by the count of 13 to 1.

St. Louis bats were very productive in the 5th inning when they had 4 runs on 4 hits. Offensively, St. Louis was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings. The victory went to Ed Wells(3-7) who went 6 and 2/3 innings, allowing 1 run. General Crowder(5-6) absorbed the loss. He was unable to control the St. Louis offense and allowed 15 hits and 4 walks in 4 and 2/3 innings.
