Episode Synopsis
- Harry Wismer- Bob CervIn 1956, Bob Cerv was in his sixth season with the New York Yankees, primarily serving as a reserve outfielder. This year marked Cerv's last full season with the Yankees before being sold to the Kansas City Athletics in October. At 31 years old, Cerv had yet to reach his peak as a player, which would come in the following years with Kansas City.This radio interview captures Cerv at a transitional point in his career. Despite limited playing time with the Yankees, he was part of their World Series championship team in 1956. Cerv's role on the star-studded Yankees squad was primarily as a pinch-hitter and occasional outfielder, a position that would change dramatically upon his move to Kansas City, where he would become an everyday player and eventually an All-Star in 1958.#BobCerv #NYYankees #1956WorldSeries #BaseballReserves #MLBTransitions
