Bobby
Bonner played professional baseball for the Baltimore Orioles’
organization for seven years; five were spent playing in the minor leagues and two
years playing with the big league club. At the age of twenty-eight
Bobby became a free agent. Five big league clubs were in contact with
him to offer contracts. Yet despite this and though he was at the peak
of his professional baseball career, Bobby retired from the game and
would go on to become a missionary serving the Lord Jesus Christ in
Zambia, Africa.
