"It didn’t take long for Bob to be recognized as an outstanding baseball player while playing outfield on the Linfield team. The athletic director said, 'The graceful way he played the outfield reminded me of Joe DiMaggio. He would glide to the ball.' Bob was chosen to the Northwest Conference all-star outfield in 1950, ’51 and ’52, and he helped the Wildcats win conference championships in 1950 and ’51. He graduated cum laude with a double major in mathematics and sociology in 1952." - The News Register (ROBERT (BOB) GORDON MARTYN, Source)
