Bob Robertson
Robert Eugene "Bob" Robertson (born October 2, 1946 in Frostburg, Maryland) is a former first baseman in Major League Baseball. Robertson, who batted and threw right-handed, played for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1967–1976), Seattle Mariners (1978) and Toronto Blue Jays (1979). He missed the entire 1968 season due to a kidney obstruction.
==Early career==
Touted as “another Ralph Kiner” after leading the minor leagues in home runs three times, Robertson broke into the Pirates’ regular lineup in playing alongside future Hall-of-Famers Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell. On August 1 of that year, at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Robertson and Stargell each collected five hits in a 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Braves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1970/B08010ATL1970.htm )〕 Not until Andrew McCutchen and Garrett Jones in would Pirate teammates each collect five hits in the same game. That season, Robertson batted .287 with 27 home runs and 82 runs batted in (all career highs) on a team that won the National League East Division, the Pirates' first trip to the post-season since winning the 1960 World Series. However, they were defeated in the National League Championship Series by the Cincinnati Reds.
In Robertson hit .271 with 26 home runs and 72 RBIs. That year, the Pirates defeated the San Francisco Giants in the NLCS, and the Baltimore Orioles 4 games to 3 to win the World Series. In the NLCS he hit four home runs (a record later tied by Steve Garvey in 1978 and Jeffrey Leonard in 1987), three of them in the Pirates’ Game Two victory, which was played the day after Robertson's 25th birthday. He also added a double, setting the record for most total bases in a post-season game, as well as tying the record of 4 long hits a post-season game. Robertson would hit two more home runs in the World Series; one of those came in Game Three off of Baltimore starter Mike Cuellar with Clemente on second and Stargell on first. Third-base coach Frank Oceak had given Robertson the bunt sign in this at-bat, but Robertson, who had no sacrifice bunts on the season and only one the year before, missed it. Television replays would show that Clemente had appeared to call time-out just before that pitch; however, Cuellar was already in his windup at the time. Steve Blass, the winning pitcher in that Game Three, was sitting next to manager Danny Murtaugh in the Pirate dugout. The pitcher offered to pay the fine if Murtaugh imposed one on Robertson for missing the bunt sign. Murtaugh didn't.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://home.mindspring.com/~gearhard/pigreat2.html#robertson )〕
In the years following the World Series title, however Robertson slumped, hitting only .193 with 12 home runs and 41 RBI in , .239 with 14 home runs and 40 RBIs in and .229 with 16 home runs and 48 RBIs in . After having surgery done on both knees in 1974 he was reduced to only a part-time player.
