Hometown Great Bobby Tillman

Skip Nipper’s Nashville Baseball Podcast

I want to tell you about a great baseball player who came out of the ranks of the Nashville Interscholastic League and made his way to the major leagues for nine seasons and had about as much talent as anyone who came out of Nashville.
That player was Bobby Tillman, a 6’4” right-hander, signed out of Middle Tennessee State College by Red Sox scout, George Digby in 1958. Tillman passed away on June 23, 2000, of a heart attack at the age of 63; but his legacy in sports, especially baseball, lives on. Listen as I tell about his his school and professional career in baseball!
