Through These Halls: Bob Cerv

He was a two-sport letter winner all four years at Nebraska, a baseball All-American, WWII veteran, major league All-Star and father of 10. That’s quite a life.

It is always fascinating to look up the careers of athletes in a time before college sports became the big business they are now.

Robert “Bob” Cerv was born in 1925 in Saunders County, Nebraska. While in high school, he played Legion baseball (catcher and outfielder) and even took part in the semipro Pioneer Night League. Can you imagine the NCAA reaction today if a recruit played semi-professionally in their chosen sport???
