Robin Yount days


It’s Robin Yount days until Opening Day. 



MVP as a shortstop, MVP as a centerfielder, holds pretty much every Milwaukee franchise record.

Robin has a brother, Larry. Larry was a pitcher for the Astros. In his major league debut, he came on in relief. He was tossing his warm-up pitches on the mound and felt his elbow stiffen. He was removed and sent to the locker room to have his elbow looked at. Then he was sent back down to the minors. Then he was never called back. As a result, he’s the only pitcher ever to officially appear in the record books as having played in a game without ever actually facing a batter.

So, not much sibling rivalry there.
