It seems like he was offended by anything that represented youthfulness, with "Rockin' Robin" being a rather juvenile song that evokes images of young Michael Jackson. Maybe because Yount came out of the womb as a 25-year-old veteran with a mustache. I wonder if he would have signed autographs as, "The Franchise," or even, "The Yountchise." The look he sports in this particular card says, "Probably not."mkenny59https://www.blogger.com/profile/05234341530938587397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-73363527454308893922011-12-21T23:20:52.391-05:002011-12-21T23:20:52.391-05:00Robin Yount was one of my idols growing up.

I always thought that he played the game the way it was meant to be played-though I don't have any proof because I can barely recall watching him play. Regardless, I met him at a baseball card show last year. Seemed like a nice guy to me. <br /><br />For some reason the show's promotional materials clearly stated that "Mr. Yount will not sign any autographs with "Rockin' Robin" or "The Kid" ...which I think is strange considering Ken Griffey Jr. was "The Kid" when I grew up. And Yount is, what, 55 years old now? Who still thinks of him as a "kid"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
