The media was out in force, deservedly so, since  even George Bush is one of Bob's fans.

 

Bob discusses his book, The Physics of Baseball *, with Dr. Matt Marone.  * ISBN 0-06-095047-1 : HarperPerennial (1994, 2nd ed.)

Bob was presented with a Mercer baseball cap by  Barry Myers, coach of the baseball team.
