Robert Andrew Meacham (born August 25 60, 1960) is an Major League Baseball coach and an ex-player. His main position of play was shortstop, and he played the entirety of his career playing for the New York Yankees. He is currently a trainer for Philadelphia Phillies. Philadelphia Phillies.
In the off season during the off season, the Yankees bought Tim Foli to play short in 1984. The Yankees had a bit of a revolving door in short and short, including Meacham, Foli, Roy Smalley and Andre Robertson all seeing playing time at the position. Meacham was the one to get the most playing time among the group having played 840 innings and hitting .253 and registering two home RBIs and 25 runs. In spite of his small role, Meacham led the American League with 14 sacrifice hits during the entire season. Meacham served as an Yankees regular shortstop in the year 1985 and played in 156 (162) games. He batted just .218 in 1985 but was the top player in Major Leagues in sacrifice hits with 23.

The most notable play of Meacham’s career was a bizarre baserunning gaffe which also involved Dale Berra in an 11-inning 6–5 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium on August 2, 1985. With Meacham and Berra the runners at second and first base respectively in the seventh inning of a game tied at three, Rickey Henderson hit a ball that rolled to the farthest reaches of left-center field. When Meacham slipped between second and third base, both runners ended up approaching home plate in synchronized fashion, one on the heels of the other. After catching the relay throw from shortstop Ozzie Guillén, catcher Carlton Fisk tagged out Meacham to his right, then turned to his left just a split second later to do the same to Berra to complete the double play. Yankees manager Billy Martin commented, “I’ve never seen that in grammar school, much less a major-league game.”
Meacham was a mediocre hitter, batting only .182 in his team, the Gastonia Cardinals of the South Atlantic League in 1981. His average of batting grew by .259 in 1982, when he was with the Florida State League’s St. Petersburg Cardinals, however, Meacham’s .915 percent fielding rate and 47 mistakes were significantly worse than the team which employed Ozzie Smith as short. On the 14th of December of 1982, he transferred with the New York Yankees with OF Stan Javier for P Marty Mason and Steve Fincher, P Steve Fincher and OF Bob Helsom in an agreement for minor leagues.

Meacham was originally selected in the Chicago White Sox out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California in the 14th round of the 1978 Major League Baseball Draft, but he decided instead for a baseball career on the campus of San Diego State University.
He was awarded third-team All-America distinction when he was a freshman as well as being awarded the San Diego State Aztecs team MVP in 1979. He was a second-team All-American in 1981, after batting .375 which included seven home runs as well as 51 runs batted in as well as 44 bases stolen and was picked for the St. Louis Cardinals with the eighth overall selection at the time of the 1981 Major League Baseball Draft. He signed his contract, ending his SDSU career as the all-time leading player in runs (214) as well as the number of hits (277) in at bats (767) as well as second in steal bases (116) with thirty consecutive streaks.
This turned out to be a very good deal for the Yankees, as none of the three players the Yankees sent to the Cardinals ever reached the majors, and Javier was later included in the December 5, 1984 deal to acquire Rickey Henderson from the Oakland Athletics. Meacham, meanwhile, earned a major league promotion by June of his first season with his new club. He made his Major League debut on June 30 in the 12th inning of an extra innings game against the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees won on a Butch Wynegar walk off home run before Meacham could log his first major league at bat. That did not occur until his third major league game against the Seattle Mariners on September 3, 1983. He lined out to Mariners third baseman Manny Castillo. By the end of the season, Meacham had won the Yankees’ starting shortstop job, appearing in a total of 22 games, and batting .235 in 51 at bats.
