The fine people at hotfootblog apparently read The Final Score because were intrigued enough by this post to find out who exactly is Dromerhauser. And with the help of Google, they found a pretty cool story.
"This NYT story ... not only gives us his first name, Rob, but a story of how in 1989, with Gary Carter, Barry Lyons hurt and Mackey Sasser their only catcher left, then GM Joe McIlvaine had a contract drawn up for Rob Dromerhauser because they weren’t sure if Phil Lombardi who they had called up from Tidewater would make it to game on time. Lombardi did make it by the first inning so the rest is history. McIlvaine went on to say of Dromerhauser, “For a while, Robbie was our Walter Mitty.”
FYI: A happy Dromerhauser fan bought the jersey for $122.50 on eBay.
