"All (Bobby) Del Greco has to do is hit a little better, and he'll be one of the greatest. There isn't a better fielder anywhere." - Philadelphia Phillies Manager (1960-1968) Gene Mauch in The Daily Times (08/25/1960, Bobby Del Greco, Page 22)

Robert George DelGreco (Del Greco) (April 7, 1933 – October 13, 2019) was an American professional baseball outfielder, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for six teams during the 1950s and 1960s, including the Pittsburgh Pirates (1952 and 1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), Chicago Cubs (1957), New York Yankees (1957–58), Philadelphia Phillies (1960–61 and 1965), and Kansas City Athletics (1961–63).

DelGreco grew up in Pittsburgh's Hill District and was signed by the hometown Pirates. They traded him to the Cardinals on May 17, 1956, in a deal that brought center fielder Bill Virdon to Pittsburgh.

After spending most of 1957 with the seventh-place Cubs and in Triple-A, Bobby was acquired by the pennant-winning Yankees, on September 10. He was a light-hitting, speedy, and defensively-sound player. The Yankees used him to fill in for Mickey Mantle in the late innings, but DelGreco did not appear in the 1957 World Series, won by the Milwaukee Braves in seven games.

After a minor-league stint in 1964, he played his last MLB game for the Phillies, in May 1965 and retired from baseball after the 1966 campaign.
