Rob Dibble
Drafted in the first round of the 1983 amateur draft, Rob Dibble made his MLB debut in 1988 with the Cincinnati Reds. Dibble played in the 1990 and 1991 MLB All-Star games and was named 1990 NLCS "Most Valuable Player." In 1990, he was also part of the Cincinnati Reds World Series victory. In 1995, he went on to play for the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. During his seven year MLB career, Dibble broke records, pitching his 500th career strikeout in fewer innings than any other pitcher in history. Rob Dibble retired from playing in 1995 after injury to his pitching arm. In 1998, he began broadcasting as a baseball analyst on "The Dan Patrick Show." He then co-hosted "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" until 2008, when he became the baseball program analyst for FOX. He has held posts as co-host and analyst for Sirius/XM's "First Pitch" and "The Show," hosted "Around the Bases," a web-video segment on FOXSports.com, and was the color commentator for the Washington National on MASN. Dibble currently co- hosts FOX Sports Radio's weeknight show, FOX Sports Tonight, with six-time Olympic Gold Medalist Amy Van Dyken, as well as a 3 hour weekend program which he co-hosts with NFL linebacker Kirk Morrison.
Amy Van Dyken
At the age of six, when a doctor suggested she take up swimming to help relieve her asthma, the thought of becoming an Olympic champion was far from Amy Van Dyken's mind. However, at the Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, Van Dyken won two individual medals and two team medals to become the first American woman ever to win four gold medals in a single Olympics. This feat made her the most decorated athlete male or female, of the 1996 Games. She left the Olympic Games with five career best times, four gold medals and three American Records. Amy enhanced her distinguished repertoire of Olympic achievements by adding three Gold Medals from the 1998 World Championships in Perth, Australia. Overcoming two shoulder surgeries, Amy earned two more Gold Medals in the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia bringing her Olympic Gold Medal total to six. To cap off her extraordinary swimming career, Amy was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Olympic Hall of Fame on 2009.
