Bob Kearney Biography

Bob Kearney is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on October 3, 1956 in San Antonio, Texas, United States. Robert Henry Kearney (born October 3, 1956), is an American former professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, and Seattle Mariners from 1979 to 1987.

Kearney was traded to the Seattle Mariners before the 1984 season, replacing Rick Sweet as their starting catcher. Despite his strong throwing arm, he developed a reputation for poor pitch-calling skills. During the 1984 season, Mariners pitchers Salomé Barojas and Mike Moore both demanded to have Orlando Mercado as their catcher. This lack of pitch-calling skills along with his light-hitting caused the Mariners to trade for veteran catcher Steve Yeager before the 1986 season. Yeager was expected to catch the majority of the Mariners’ games however, he had a disappointing season and Kearney would eventually lead the team’s catchers by appearing in 81 games. In 1987, he was displaced by Scott Bradley as the Mariners’ starting catcher and was released in July of that year after posting a .170 batting average in 51 games.
