Robert Drury (baseball)
Robert Blee Drury (January 27, 1878 – August 19, 1933 in Columbus, Ohio, USA) played in minor league baseball for eight seasons, from 1901 to 1908, and managed at that level for four. Not a solid hitter, he never posted a season batting average above .247. He managed the Binghamton Bingoes for part of 1905 (replacing Count Campau) and for all of 1906 and 1907. In 1908, he managed the Wilkes-Barre Barons for the last part of the season, replacing Abel Lizotte. Every team he managed finished seventh in the league.
He served in the Spanish–American War.[1]
He was, at one point, part-owner of the Boston Red Sox, having developed some personal wealth.[2] As well, he became a noted surgeon,[2] graduating from Starling-Loving College. He served as a physician to baseball notables such as Ban Johnson.
He is interred at Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus.
