I’m sorry to hear about Bobby’s passing. I was his Little League coach many years ago. Bobby didn’t talk much, but he had a great sense of humor. Our team was much like the Bad News Bears. We only won three games in three years, but there was never a dull moment! I remember one game in particular. I had Bobby out in right field and we were getting trounced. He hadn’t had anything hit to him. Late in the game, I looked out and saw him lying on the grass, picking dandelions! At the end of the inning, as he came running in, I motioned for him to come over to speak to me. I asked him how come he was picking dandelions. He looked up at me and as a silly grin came over his face, he replied “I got bored!” I had to bite my lip to keeping from laughing and then said, “Good idea! Get a bat, you’re up this inning!”
