Conrad George Grob (rhymes with "robe"; November 9, 1932 – September 28, 1997) was an American
Washington Senators
. Grob batted left-handed, stood 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg).
A native of Cross Plains, Wisconsin, Grob signed originally with the Brooklyn Dodgers before the 1952 season and won 24 games (losing five) in his debut year in the Class D Wisconsin State League. After two years in military service, the Dodgers moved him up to the Double-A Southern Association and he responded by posting a winning record with the 1955 Mobile Bears. Washington then selected him in the Rule 5 draft that November.
Grob spent the entire
innings pitched, striking out 27.[1]
At season's end, he was reacquired by Brooklyn and spent the rest of his active career at the top level of the
Houston Colt .45s. He retired after the 1965 Pacific Coast League
season.
Connie Grob died in Madison, Wisconsin, at age 64.
