Eddie Robinson's career lasted sixty-five years and spanned the era
before and during World War II, integration, the organization of
the players union, expansion, use of artificial turf, free agency,
labor stoppages, and even the steroid era. He was a Minor League
player, a Major League player, a coach, a farm director, a general
manager, a scout, and a consultant. During his six and a half
decades in baseball, he knew, played with or against, or worked for
or with many of baseball's greats, including Hank Aaron, Yogi
Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller, Rogers Hornsby, Mickey Mantle,
Satchel Paige, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, George
Steinbrenner, Casey Stengel, Bill Veeck, and Ted Williams. The
lively autobiography of Robinson, Lucky Me highlights a career that
touched all aspects of the game from player to coach to
front-office executive and scout. In it Robinson reveals for the
first time that the 1948 Cleveland Indians stole the opposition's
signs with the use of a telescope in their drive to the pennant.
