Robert Downey Sr.(1936-2021)

While in the Army, he pitched against Yogi Berra... and struck him out.

[describing his childhood]: It was like a bad version of "The Catcher In The Rye". My mother was groovy-looking and was married four times. I got booted out of three prep schools - St.Paul's, Peddie and Lawrenceville - and never got past the ninth-and-a-half grade. I was on athletics scholarships and I never went to classes.
