Another deceptively young nerd…Mr. Robinson was only 29 when this picture was taken.  Mr. Robinson’s nickname was, for some reason, “The Caveman,” and not “Mr. Kotter.”  Mr. Robinson actually pitched for 14 seasons, and was considered one of the best hitting pitchers in the game.  He had 13 career home runs, including a pinch-hit-home-run in 1990.
