  • Robert Paul Wine Sr. is a former shortstop, coach and manager in Major League Baseball. An excellent fielder who struggled as a batsman, Wine spent 12 seasons in the National League with the Philadelphia Phillies (1960; 1962-68) and the Montreal Expos (1969-72). He won the NL Gold Glove Award in 1963. Wine became a coach almost immediately after his playing days ended. He worked with the Phillies from July 1972 through the 1983 season — an era in which the Phils rebounded from cellar-dwellers to National League champions in 1980 and 1983 and 1980 World Series champions. He then moved to the Braves, serving as a coach in 1985 and from 1988-90. He was the interim manager of the 1985 Braves from August 26 through season's end, replacing the fired Eddie Haas. Under Wine, the Braves won 16 and lost 25 (.390) and remained lodged in fifth place in the National League West. Wine's last years in uniform were as a New York Mets coach from 1993-96. He has been a scout for Atlanta since. A large part of Atlanta's success in the long string of Division titles has been linked to his lead advance scout work where Wine reports directly to Braves' manager Bobby Cox. Wine's son, Robbie, is a former major league catcher. Wine once pulled the "Hidden Ball Trick" on, of all people, Hall of Famer Willie Mays. When chided for his lack of home run power in his playing career, Wine always cracks, "That's OK. I had one more than Ashburn. " Ashburn is, of course, the late Richie Ashburn, the diminutive but mighty Phillies' center fielder who is a member of Baseball's Hall of Fame. Wine's memory is correct as he indeed had 30 round trippers to Ashburn's 29. Ashburn, however, had 2,574 hits and a career .308 average to Wine's 682 safeties produced at a .215 clip. Five of Wine's 30 home runs came against Hall of Fame pitchers: two each off Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn and one off Bob Gibson. In 2007, Wine was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. He lives with his wife, Fran, in Norristown, Pennsylvania. In 2009, Wine's grandson, Cory Wine, was drafted by his former team, the Philadelphia Phillies, in the 38th round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft.
