We are blessed to have Bob Oldis join us this week on the podcast. Bob signed his first Major League contract in 1949 with the old Washington Senators franchise. Bob also played in the 1960 World Series and appeared in games 4 and 5 in Yankee Stadium catching in the latter innings. He finished his career in Philadelphia playing for Gene Mauch in 1963. He stayed on the Phillies staff as a coach for the infamous 1964 collapse. Bob is still involved in baseball as a scout for the Marlins at age 97.
