The last living player from the 1948 Cleveland Indians championship team, Eddie Robinson will be on hand at Progressive Field for game six of the World Series:
The 95-year-old Robinson was the starting first baseman on the `48 team, which featured Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller, Larry Doby, who broke the AL color barrier, shortstop/manager Lou Boudreau and pitcher Bob Lemon.
Robinson is making the trip from Fort Worth, Texas, to see the Indians try to close out the Chicago Cubs.
He would have his best years for the White Sox in 1951 and 1952.
