When I was a kid playing little league baseball Robin Yount was a model for a lot of us.

A hope and a dream that we were chasing at 12 years old.

After all, he was just a few years older than the kids playing for Coburg Dairy, Baskin-Robins and Avondale Pharmacy.

But Robin Yount at 18 years old after half a season in Single-A was a Major Leaguer playing the position where all the cool kids played - shortstop - while we were trying to figure out how to hit what passed for a curve ball. 

But this isn’t about Robin, at least not directly.

It’s about Robin’s older brother Larry, who was also a Major Leaguer.  

Well, kind of.
