Lessons from a Bullpen Catcher?

Spotted this on craiglist.

Any idea who this is? I know the Mets have never had a catcher named "Rob" "Bob" or "Robert" and never had a #73...

That picture looks mid-eighties I think,I hate it when people write in caps.

Sounds like a fraud who got on the field to take battig practice.

CALL MY GIRLFRIEND TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT - (212) 761-6368.

What an unhappy chick she must be. Anybody up for doing some followup work? You could get a nice short piece for the NY Press or the Voice or something.

His name is Rob, but everyone calls him Clambake.

What Edgy said.

]ADULTS, GIRLS, AND KIDS WELCOME

But please, no boys.

]I HAVE REAL PHOTOS WHEN I PLAYED FOR THE NEW YORK METS

Or you could just tell me your name and I'll look you up.

]I WILL ALSO BRING THEM TO OUR PRACTICE AND BRING SOME OLD METS GEAR TOO.

Um, okay.

]I WENT TO COLLEGE ON A FULL BASEBALL SCHOLARSHIP

Where?

]I CAN MEET IN YOUR LOCAL PARK, YARD, OR WHERE A GOOD HARD PRACTICE WILL WORK OUT BEST.

Sounds like a code for some other type of 'coaching' if you ask me.

]MY GIRLFRIEND USUALLY TAGS ALONG TO COME WATCH THE LESSONS

Is she hot?

]IF YOU PREVIOUSLY CONTACTED ME AND DID NOT REACH ME, I WAS OUT OF COUNTRY FOR 3 WEEKS & NOW HAVE A NEW PHONE NUMBER - APOLOGIES.

This is just weird.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sounds more like he was in custody for three weeks.

Or went to a Mets Fantasy Camp.

Shifty, yes, but the Mets did have a BP catcher named Rob Dromenhauser back in the mid-80s... he came with Terry Leach to my baseball camp when I was a kid.

[Gwreck]

That's the name I was thinking of. Couldn't place it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, then, he may actually have some substance to his claim:

[stevejrogers]

BTW, the Mets did have a 73 once, Kenny Rogers who wanted 37.

Also that BP jersey looks more like an mid-90s (after the Mets lost the tail on Mets) jersey than the 80s, and I doubt thats Rob Dromenhauser in that photo, though I need to do some more research on that.

The author of that article went to the Peter Noone school of writing. Second paragraph same as the first!

rob has a lot of irons in the fire, if that's him.

he's got a nice little restaurant in bay shore:

]Cool Water Grill, 25 Bayview Ave., Bay Shore, 631-206-0420. Owner Rob Dromerhauser, a former major league baseball player and bull-pen coach, is a personable host at this marina-side spot with a simple American seafood-slanted menu. A sesame-seared tuna appetizer special, sampled recently, was spot-on.

and he's also president of american sports history inc.

]American Sports History Incorporated through its wholly owned subsidiary America Sports Academy, LLC (ASA) provides multi-sport youth instructional programs throughout Long Island, NY.

In addition, the company has focusing its efforts in developing sports related instruction and business around America's five major professional sports: baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer, and also wrestling and lacrosse. With respect to these areas, the company made investments in research and development of certain technologies; its Internet Web site, SportsInfo.com, and; Youth Academies through its subsidiary America Sports Academy, LLC offered to children ages 5-15.

not sure why he'd need to go the craigs list route then...

of course, that sportsinfo.com site is a shady-looking gambling-info site, with nothing to do whatsoever with sports instruction, so who knows, really.
