That's fantastic - I saw that he was from MA. When I was just starting out as a kid, Robidoux cards were unavoidable - I would pull them in packs, re-packs, grab bags, trades... Do you know, is it pronounced "Robidoo" or "Robidough." I assume now that it is like the french "Doux", but I used to pronounce it dough to make the name rhyme Bill-y Jo / Ro-bid-ough
A wall of those cards would give me nightmares.
ReplyDeleteI think the 87 Canseco Diamond King card would be my nightmare wall.
DeleteI played against this guy in high school. State finals 1980.

Robidough. The name rhymes. I think I read someplace that he umps high school baseball now
DeleteGood to know!

Billy Jo would like to remind everyone that there is no fun in baseball.
ReplyDeleteAnd there ain't no cryin' either....
He might look a little miffed because we missed his birthday (January 13th, assuming Donruss is correct)
