Former major leaguer Bill Robinson passed away Sunday at the age of 64, apparently in Denver, although the wire service story is unclearRobinson passed away in Las Vegas.

Robinson, who was working as the Dodgers minor league hitting instructor, played in the majors for sixteen seasons. He played for the Braves, Yankees, Phillies, and Pirates. Robinson played on the Pirates 1979 World Series championship team.

Thanks to Dodgers49 for the tip.
