CLEVELAND -- Wearing the same style Chief Wahoo cap he had in his playing days, Eddie Robinson was hoping to see the Indians win another World Series title.Like any Cleveland fan, hes waited a long time.Its been so darn long, he said with more than a hint of Texas twang.The last living member from Clevelands 1948 World Series title team, Robinson attended Game 6 on Tuesday night as a guest of the Indians, who were trying to close out the Chicago Cubs at home and capture their first championship in 68 years.Instead, the Cubs won 9-3 to set up a Game 7.As he sat in a luxury suite before the first pitch, the 95-year-old Robinson -- who made the trip from Fort Worth, Texas, with his wife, Bette -- admitted some pregame nervousness for these Indians while he reminisced about his time in Cleveland.Robinson was the first baseman on a team that featured five Hall of Famers, including Bob Feller and Larry Doby. Robinson drove in the Series-clinching run in the eighth inning of Game 6 off the Boston Braves Warren Spahn, giving the Indians their most recent championship on Oct. 11, 1948.Robinson laughed while recalling that team didnt celebrate like they do today. After dressing and getting on the train, he and his teammates did have quite a ride back to Cleveland.Thats when the party started, said Robinson, who batted .300 in that Series. There was champagne dripping from the ceiling. And when we arrived here the next morning, they had a parade arranged, and from the train station we went to Euclid Avenue and every player got in a convertible and we went down Euclid and it was marvelous. It looked like everyone in Cleveland had turned out.Robinson said he keeps a close eye on the Indians from afar, but the one-time Texas general manager said the Rangers are closest to his heart. He thought theyd be representing the AL in the World Series this year but our pitching went a little sour.Robinson, who went to watch the game in the suite along with Indians manager Terry Franconas dad, Tito, said the 2016 Indians dont remind him of the 48 club, which had to win a one-game playoff over the Boston Red Sox just to make the Series. Robinson caught the final out and still has the ball.No resemblance, he said. We had great pitching like this team, but this team is comprised of a bunch of players, theyre kind of no-name players. I went to see Cleveland play when they came to Texas this year and I told my wife, `They have a good team but Ive never heard of any of them except for (Mike) Napoli. He was with Texas and Ive been a Napoli fan for a long time. Good player. Good teammate.Still remarkably fit and cogent at his advanced age, Robinson said the key to his longevity has been a good wife. He said it would be difficult for him to see Game 6 from the suite, and was ready to move inside and watch it on TV.Robinson said he stayed mostly in touch 48 teammates Bob Lemon, Al Rosen and Dale Mitchell when their careers ended. He said they tried to stay close, but the years pulled them apart.Robinsons memory is amazingly strong. He was quick to point out that in 48, Lemon pitched 20 complete games.Can you believe that? he said. And if you needed a relief pitcher, they might have put Lemon in to relieve. Its so different now.Robinson loves the game now, especially the home runs. He just wishes the fences were as short in his day as they are now.Todays players have better perks than he and his teammates enjoyed, and the biggest perk is the money. Robinson was asked if he could imagine the kind contracts pitchers like Feller or Lemon could have fetched today.I think about Eddie Robinson, what he could have got, he said with a chuckle.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Another week, another new quarterback, another win for the New England Patriots.Jacoby Brissett had a 27-yard touchdown run in his first NFL start, LeGarrette Blount added scoring runs of 1 and 41 yards , and the Patriots beat the Houston Texans 27-0 on Thursday night.It was the Patriots first shutout win since 2012 and the first time the Texans have been shutout since 2003.Brissett began the season as the third-string quarterback behind Tom Brady, the franchise cornerstone who is serving a four-game suspension for his role in Deflategate, and Jimmy Garoppolo -- inactive after injuring his right shoulder last week against Miami. Brissetts start on Thursday was the first time that New England had started a rookie quarterback since Drew Bledsoe in 1993.The Texans (2-1) entered the game with the NFLs third-ranked defense and nine sacks through two games, but they struggled to put pressure on the 23-year-old quarterback.Brissett was steady throughout, moving the chains on offense with a diet of short passes and scrambles. The Patriots (3-0) also mixed in lots of pre-snap motion and shifts that helped create both throwing and running lanes for Brissett. He finished the night 11 of 19 for 103 yards, and ran eight times for 48 yards.Houston didnt help itself on special teams either, turning the ball over twice on fumbled kickoff returns. Houston quarterback Brock Osweiler was 24 for 41 for 196 yards and was sacked twice. He also had a promising drive in the second quarter thwarted by Jamie Collins interception . The Texans had a chance to get on the board just before halftime, but that drive stalled at midfield.Lamar Miller rushed 22 times for 84 yards.QUOTABLE:Brissett on his first NFL touchdown: It was crazy. It was awesome. Definitely great to see all the players just run up to you. I got a headache from all the head bobbing and head bumping. But it was definitely worth it.Osweiler on the loss: I felt like we had a great week of preparation, very focused. The game plan was solid and we worked hard. So this is hard to take. But the bottom line is that New England had a great game plan. They deserve all the credit. Buut well bounce back from this one.ddddddddddddBLOUNT FORCE: Blount ran 24 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns, including the 41-yarder in the fourth quarter to give New England a 27-0 lead. Its the third time in his career he has had back-to-back 100-yard games, and the first time since 2011. Blount also had a 1-yard TD run in the third quarter.GRONK RETURNS: Tight end Rob Gronkowski made his season debut after sitting out the first two weeks with a hamstring injury he sustained during training camp. Gronk was used sparingly and mainly as a blocker, appearing in just 14 snaps, and three in the second half.RUNNING QBS: Brissetts 27-yard touchdown run was the longest for a Patriots quarterback since Steve Grogan went 41 yards for a score in 1976. The longest run of Tom Bradys career is 22 yards.I was just running until I got stopped, Brissett said. It worked out how we planned it was going to work out. The guys up front did a great job. And Malcolm on that side did a great job blocking that guy.CHALLENGE: The Patriots first touchdown was set up by a successful coachs challenge by Bill Belichick. After Stephen Gostkowskis 24-yard field goal put New England up 3-0, Houstons Charles James fielded the ensuing kickoff from just inside the end zone. James ran it out, and was tripped up at the 17. But the ball squirted out on a hit by Brandon Bolden. Duron Harmon recovered for the Patriots, but James ruled down on the field. Belichick challenged, and the call was reversed.STREAK ENDS: The Texans entered Thursday having not allowed touchdown in six consecutive quarters. That streak ended in the first quarter with Brissetts 27-yard touchdown run.INJURIES: Houston tight end Stephen Anderson left the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return.MOVING ON UP: Belichick tied Curly Lambeau for fourth place on the regular-season wins list with 226. He is now only behind Tom Landry (250), George Halas (318) and Don Shula (328).---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
