WPTV from Palm Beach Florida reports that Eddie Robinson, the world’s oldest living former MLB player at age 100, started a baseball storytelling podcast called The Golden Age of Baseball with Eddie Robinson.
If you enjoy hearing stories of baseball in times gone by then Eddie Robinson, a man who knew Babe Ruth personally, is more than likely your oldest living historian of it, and he’s still a pretty good storyteller.
“I like to think that I played in a golden era of baseball. DiMaggio and Mantle and Vera, and Ted Williams and I knew all those guys intimately well. In fact, they were friends of mine. I had a great experience and look back on those days with a lot of interest,” Robinson said.
His episodes so far have talked about playing baseball during the Great Depression, his friendship with Bob Feller, and Yogi Berra ribbing him for skipping batting practice.
