World Herald: Bob Cerv Lived a ‘Lucky’ Life
By Randy York, The N-Sider
Bob Cerv, the only Nebraska student-athlete in history to earn four varsity letters in both baseball and basketball, died Thursday night in Blair, Neb., at age 91, less than a month before his May 5th 92nd birthday.
The Huskers honored Cerv with a moment of silence before Friday night’s Big Ten Conference baseball win over Maryland at Lincoln’s Haymarket Park. Several months ago, Nebraska began preparations to honor Cerv, offering free Bobbleheads (pictured above) to the first 750 fans through the Haymarket gates on May 5th.
