They were introduced as they stood on the base lines prior to the introduc- tion of the all-stars, and all of them received standing ovations. "A lot of guys I played with or against were there, including Bill Wright, Henry Kimbrell, Buck Leonard, Monty Irvin, Leon Day, Andrew Porter, and others, and Josh Gibson's son was there," Robinson noted. "They had an old- timers game the night before the all-star game but we didn't partici- pate in it. People like Reggie Jackson, Lou Brock, Bob Feller and Bob Gibson played. I saw Yogi Berra, Boog Powell, Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson, and the master of ceremonies was Joe Garagiola." After the all-star introductions, Robinson said he went to his place in the stands and signed autographs for fans for a while, then left early for the hotel. "I was kind of under the weather the whole time," he noted. "I was playing golf a couple of weeks be- fore the all-star game and my hip started bothering me and I've been under the doctor's care ever since. "All of the festivities surround- ing all-star week were exciting, but it was a pretty rough schedule," he said. "But I saw guys I hadn't seen in 35 or 40 years and that was nice.” BENEFIT From Page 7-A straight tournaments, including the prestigious Smoky Mountain Classic recently in Maryville, Tenn., in compiling a 53-2 record.” Shoemaker announces that area softball legends such as Don Arndt, Stan Harvey, Bobby Bates, Danny Denton, Richard Howard and David Johnson plan to attend the games and greet their longtime friends. Doug McDonald, who coached the Pharr Yarns Reds to several na- . tional championships, and Bobby Lutz, who once played for Howard's/Western Steer, will serve as honorary coaches for the County All-Stars. : Seissor Shapening *Kitchen o Utility *Pinkers Embroidery *Barber's BRIDGES HARDWARE AND HOME CENTER 100 S. Cansler St at East King St. PREETI) The Orioles had uniforms, caps and baseball shoes made for all of the Negro League legends who at- tended the festivities, and that meant a lot, Robinson said. Robinson said it's also good to see baseball finally recognize the Negro League stars, and he hopes someday to see those players in- cluded in the major league pension plan. Several people are working on that idea now and the Upper Deck company, which publishes baseball cards and markets other memorabilia, is marketing sweat shirts, jackets and caps of the Kansas City Monarchs of which the players receive a royalty. "I have the jacket and cap,” Robinson said, "and they're nice. They: say they can't keep them on hand, they sell so fast." Robinson caught Satchel Paige while he played with the Monarchs and Satchel Paige All-Stars, and they became best friends. Paige nicknamed Robinson "Slow" be- cause of his slow Alabama accent. Robinson also played with the Chicago American Giants before moving to the Canadian League when the Negro League went un- der in the early fifties. He was of- fered a major league contract but turned it down because of his age 100 East King Street, Kings Mountain, NC 739-9762 e We Rent & Sell all Kinds Digital & Alpha e Have Shelby, Gastonia, Charlotte, Rock Hill phone numbers, Toll Free | eLargest Coverage area in Western North Carolina e Expanded Services Available including nationwide mee Bravo Pagers 6.9 29 R COMMUNICATIONS Located at MOBILE VIBRATIONS East Gold Street, Kings Mountain « 739-7454 (34), an ankle injury and the fact that the $25,000 bonus money for his signing was not to go to him but to a scout.
