R.J. Harrison

Bob Harrison

Playing Career

Signed: St. Louis Cardinals, 23rd round, 1975 (catcher, Arizona State University)

Management style

While two of Harrison's teams were excellent, the others were a rather unremarkable lot. He liked to watch the the guys run--even when the running hurt the team.
