TEWKSBURY — Marion Robinson was perched on her wheelchair in front of the television last weekend as the Red Sox played the Yankees. When former Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury stepped to the plate and struck out in the bottom of the seventh inning, she was ecstatic.

“That serves the Yankees right,” Robinson said. “He just goes where the money is,” referring to Ellsbury.

Robinson has had a unique experience as a Sox fan. She has been alive for six of their eight World Series titles since the team won its first in 1903, and might be their oldest fan as she turns 100 today.

At Bayberry at Emerald Court, a retirement home, the staff adorned Sox attire for her birthday party Wednesday. When she was pushed in on her wheelchair, Marion wore a blue feathered necklace, green dress and a tiara.

“I never thought she would live to be 100,” said Chandler Robinson, 69, her son. He drove down from Laconia, N.H., to surprise her.

When Chandler and his siblings would misbehave as children, Marion Robinson would write them a “poison pen letter.” The note would detail the points she wanted to get across.

“Having it in writing, it would really hit home,” said Ellen Cutcliffe, her daughter. She recalled receiving a letter in college when a group of friends came over and wanted to go get a drink. “She was strict but I’m sure it was good for us.”

The letter said it was not a good idea. Cutcliffe decided against going out that night. “She wants to know what we’re doing all the time,” she said.

Marion Robinson received birthday cards from Gov. Deval Patrick, the Red Sox and the Town of Tewksbury, but noticeably missing was a card from President Barack Obama.

“She would rather have the Red Sox than the president,” said Lynn Murphy, activities director at Bayberry.

Murphy read a list of 10 pieces of advice Marion Robinson wanted to share. First on the list, “Mind your Mother.”

“I never said any of those,” Marion Robinson said. The crowd erupted into laughter as they recognized her sense of humor.

Micki Brooks, 81, remembered the first time she met Marion. She thought, “This little gal, she won’t know how to play cards.”

Little did she know Marion Robinson was intelligent and had a sharp memory. “Let us hope we could all be like Marion if we turn 100,” Brooks said.

Marion Robinson reads The Sun every day. “It’s the only one I get,” she said. Her only criticism? “Make the pages turn easier,” she said.

Marion’s family will be flying in from Washington and North Carolina to celebrate her birthday at the Tewksbury Country Club.

When Lowell Spinners pitchers Kevin McAvoy and Karsten Whitson came in to surprise her, the crowd sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.”

She said she would like to go to a game at Fenway Park one more time. Her favorite players are second baseman Dustin Pedroia and pitcher Jon Lester. But she said, “they all are” her favorites.

“I love them if they win. I love them when they don’t win.”
