Rob Dibble Biography

Rob Dibble is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on January 24, 1964 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States. Robert Keith Dibble, born January 24, 1964, is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB), pitcher and television analyst. Dibble was a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds (now Chicago White Sox), Milwaukee Brewers (now Milwaukee Brewers) between 1988 and 1995. He was a two-time All-Star and had 89 saves in his career. Dibble played many roles in broadcasting sports television after he retired as a player.

He was an MLB All-Star in 1991 and 1990, and was also the 1990 NLCS Most Valuable Player (alongside fellow “Nasty Boy”, Randy Myers). The Reds won the World Series in 1990 by defeating the Oakland Athletics in 4 consecutive games.

In 1998, Dibble joined ESPN as a baseball analyst, working mostly on Dan Patrick’s radio show. He worked on The Best Damn Sports Show Period as a co- host until 2008, when he left to join FOX on their Saturday baseball program as an analyst. Dibble also spends time as a co-host/analyst of First Pitch on XM Channel 175/Sirius channel 210. He formerly hosted The Show (on the same channel) with Jody McDonald. Dibble served as co-analyst (with Kevin Kennedy) for FOXSports.com on a weekly video segment entitled “Around the Bases.” Dibble also is a co-host with former Major League player Denny Hocking on Fox Sports Radio Sunday night programming. In 2009, Dibble signed a three-year contract to replace Don Sutton as the color voice of the Washington Nationals on MASN.

While broadcasting a game in August 2010, Dibble drew negative attention for focusing on a group of female spectators in the Nationals crowd, and questioning their focus on the game. He later apologized for the comments. Later in the month, Dibble criticized Nationals rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg for missing a start due to an injury: “Suck it up, kid. This is your profession. You chose to be a baseball player. You can’t have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow.” It was revealed shortly afterward that Strasburg had torn an elbow ligament and required Tommy John surgery. Dibble took a few days off from MASN after making the comments, and on September 1, 2010, MASN announced that Dibble would no longer be calling Nationals games. After losing his job with the Nationals, Dibble apologized for the Strasburg comments on his radio show.

In the eighth inning, Dibble struck out three batters with nine pitches on June 4, 1989. This was in a 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres. Dibble is one of 90 pitchers in Major League history to accomplish the nine-pitch/three- strikeout half-inning, a feat known as an immaculate inning.

The Cincinnati Reds drafted Dibble in the first round 1983 amateur draft. He made his debut on June 29, 1988.

His temper was a hallmark of his career. In July 1989, Dibble hit Mets second baseman Tim Teufel in his back with a pitch. Teufel then charged Dibble and sparked a brawl in the benches. Inadvertently hitting a woman with a baseball, Dibble saved a game in April 1991, despite having to give up two runs. In 1991, he was involved in a brawl with Astros shortstop Eric Yelding. He threw a baseball in the back of Cubs outfielder Doug Dascenzo during the run down to the first base line later in 1991. He was then ejected. After a 1992 game, Dibble was also involved in a brawl in the Reds clubhouse with Lou Piniella.

Dibble required surgery to his pitching arm in 1994, and missed the entire season as a result. Dibble signed with the Milwaukee Brewers and also played with the Chicago White Sox. He signed with the Chicago Cubs at the end of the 1995 season, but voluntarily retired from the team the following March after a rough spring. Weeks later, he opted to make a comeback, signing a minor league contract on April 14, 1996 with the Florida Marlins, but Dibble would ultimately see no game action with the Marlins or their minor league affiliates.
