[edit] Biography

Bobby Bragan (Robert Randall Bragan) was born on October 30, 1917 in Birmingham, Alabama. He made his Major League debut on April 16, 1940 for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 1940, his rookie year, he hit .222 with 7 home runs and 44 RBI. Bragan played for the Philadelphia Phillies and Brooklyn Dodgers over the course of his 7 year career.

Most people believe that Bobby Bragan's best season was 1941, when he knocked in 69 runs.

Bragan served in almost every capacity in his lengthy baseball career. He was the Phillies' regular shortstop his first three years in the major leagues, then became a catcher. A minor-league manager for seven years, he attracted attention as a major-league skipper for wrangling with umpires. He made every sports section when, one day, he walked on the field sipping a soft drink through a straw, discussing the play in question with the umpires and offering each a taste of his drink. A scout and major-league coach, Bragan was also, for many years, president of the Texas League.
