Former Marlins hitting coach Bill Robinson has passed away. Robinson was on the Marlins staff for four years, including the 2003 World Series championship team.

“The entire Florida Marlins organization is deeply saddened and shocked by the sudden loss of Bill Robinson,” Marlins president David Samson said. “Not only was he a big part of the Florida Marlins 2003 World Series championship, he was a huge part of the entire Major League Baseball family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Mary, and his entire family.”
