Former MLB pitcher for Rangers and Diamondbacks now coaches high school baseball in East Texas

For Robert Ellis, a former MLB pitcher and World Series champion, the memories are a bit more real.

BULLARD, Texas — For a lot of baseball fans, the return of the World Series conjures up memories of watching their favorite team accomplish amazing things --through their TV screen. But fora former MLB pitcher and world champion himself, the memories are a bit more real -- a bit more tangible.

That’s an interaction Ellis had with Hall of Famer Randy Johnson in the dugout during game seven of the 2001 World Series, which Johnson did end up finishing on the mound. That title remains the only one in Arizona Diamondbacks history ahead of their matchup with the Texas Rangers in this year’s Fall Classic, making Ellis a part of baseball history.

"I think, obviously, the thing I remember the most was Gonzo getting the game winning hit, that blooper over Jeter’s head, in that 2001 series, and just running to home plate and everything was blank," Ellis said. Now, his journey has led him to serving as Bullard High School's baseball coach, where he gets to help inspire the next generation of ballplayers.
