Andre Deveaux played 13 pro hockey seasons in eight leagues across the globe. But he is perhaps most famous for an ugly on-ice incident in Sweden during the 2015 playoffs. However, that event does not define him as a person or a player. This is the story of a journeyman tough guy seeing the world on his skates. And one night in Sweden.

The world lost a role model when Frank Robinson died February 7. A 14-time All-Star. A Triple Crown winner. A Hall of Famer. Two World Series rings. The only player to win MVP in both the American National Leagues. The first African-American manager in MLB. And so much more. Robinson’s resume is one of the best sports has ever seen. But he represented more than just his baseball achievements.
Jeff and Stephen discuss Robinson’s life on and off the field, recalling what it was like to cover him as a manager and how he was a pivotal personality in America during an era of social upheaval. They are also joined by film producer and former sports columnist David Israel, who offers his own stories of Robinson off the field.
