Bob Sebra, who pitched for the Texas Rangers in 1985 as part of a six year major league career, passed away today of organ failure after what had been a year-long hospital stay. He was 58.
Sebra was a fifth round draft pick of the Texas Rangers in 1983 out of the University of Nebraska. He moved quickly through the system and, along with Jose Guzman and Glen Cook, was part of the group of young pitchers who were brought up in the second half of 1985. The Rangers lost 99 games that season and were forced into a rebuild.
