fringe Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This is sad. I can still see him holding court at Val's Luncheonette in the morning. Sitting there with Katcavage and Grier, Swain and Crespino. Always had time for the kids. RIP Mr. Robustelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBLUE01 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I only know of Robustelli from reading and watching clips, and what I hear some of my older family members tell me. But he is definitely one of the best Giants ever. R.I.P. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb37 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 From Jerry Izenberg's obit "It brought a new marching song to a storied franchise. Its cadence hung on the frosty air of November in the Bronx with a rolling thunder that chanted: 'Defense ... defense ... defense.' On Mondays, in what then were the city’s sports restaurants like Shor’s and Manuche’s, the expense-account lunch crowds sat at their tables moving salt and pepper shakers around to re-create what their heroes had done up at Yankee Stadium 24 hours earlier. And the name you most heard over those two martini lunches was Andy Robustelli ... the defensive captain ... the defensive leader and the fellow of whom the coach, Jim Lee Howell, would tell reporters: 'He’s our fireball. When he hollers they hear him no matter how loud the crowd because they are waiting for him to take charge.'" RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
