Listen "Back When There Was Baseball: Bob Dernier"
Episode Synopsis
We look back to the 1980s this week with our guest Bob Dernier. Bob started in the Phillies organization (1980-1983), then finished his career in Philadelphia (1988-1989). His career took off when he was dealt to the Chicago Cubs (1984-1987) where he was their leadoff man/center fielder. He led off the bottom of the 1st inning of Game 1 in the NL Playoffs (1984) with a home run against the San Diego Padres, to propel the Cubs to victory. As a Phillies fan, Bob was one of my favorite players. I loved his speed, hustle and defensive ability in center field. He also had some years where he flirted with .300 at the plate. Enjoy this interview as Bob shares some great stories Back When There Was Baseball.
