Charlie Crenshaw talks about the passing of Robert (Bobby) Cuellar
Bobby Cuellar was a fierce competitor who joined the Texas Baseball program when we needed him to replace the great pitching staffs of Hooton, Beard, Street, Salazar, and more. He had several pitches and was always around the strike zone.,Was an important pitcher as we moved through conference and on to Omaha.
Was a wonderful coach, husband and father.
Honoring Bobby Cuellar's Baseball Journey
From Laurie Murray "I was introduced to Bobby at one of the Hall of Fame inductions by Steve Worster. Since Steve is not here to tell of his love and affection for Bobby, I want to share what he Steve said. Upon our introduction, Bobby hugged me, picked me up in his arms, and told me how much he loved Steve. I was introduced to many teammates, but Bobby melted my heart. Later when I told Steve about my affection for Bobby, he said I had just met the nicest guy I would ever meet. (An aside, my brother once told me Steve Worster was the nicest guy I would ever meet. Steve then told me the stories everyone has recounted: Bobby was a “big teddy bear” in person, but a bear on the field. Then Steve told me about an incident in a game when Steve had his”bell ring” as they referred to it then. Steve went and joined the huddle of the opposing team. It was Bobby who came over and gently took Steve back to their huddle. Steve loved him.
Wish Steve were here to give a more detailed account of his affection for Bobby. Laurie Murray (friend and one who adored those guys and all of Steve’s teammates.)
