Bob Galasso joins us on the podcast this week. Bob had a short, but very interesting career in the Majors. He came out of Connellsville High School (PA) and his high school did not have a baseball team. After being founded in American Legion ball, he ended up converting to a pitcher shortly after joining the Orioles organization in the Minors. Bob had to work his way up through the Orioles organization with their great staff at the Major League level (Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Dave McNally, Pat Dobson, Ross Grimsley) and also in the Minors (Mike Flanagan, Scott McGregor, Dennis Martinez). Bob got a break when he was selected in the expansion draft by the Seattle Mariners. He had his best year in 1979 with the Milwaukee Brewers. Enjoy this conversation Back When There Was Baseball with Bob Galasso about how tough it was breaking into the Majors, especially after switching positions.
