Timeline

1950

Robert Walter Ellis (born July 3, 1950) is an American professional baseball player, coach, and manager.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Since his retirement as a player, Ellis has served as a coach and manager in college baseball and minor league baseball.

He has also written screenplays and books.

1968

Drafted by the San Francisco Giants in 1968, he did not sign, as he hoped for a team that would promote him to the major leagues quickly.

Ellis then attended Michigan State University, where he played college baseball for the Michigan State Spartans baseball team.

Ellis batted .380 as a sophomore and .431 as a junior.

He set Spartans single-season records with 14 home runs, 60 hits, 13 doubles, and 123 total bases.

1971

After a successful collegiate career for the Michigan State Spartans, the Brewers drafted Ellis in 1971 and brought him straight to the major leagues.

He played for the Brewers during the 1971, 1974, and 1975 seasons.

Over the course of his MLB playing career, Ellis played in a total of just 64 games spread out over three seasons, about half as an outfielder, with the rest as a third baseman and designated hitter.

Ellis was voted college player of the year in 1971 by The Sporting News.

Ellis was named to the All-American squad that same year.

The Washington Senators were expected to choose Ellis with the first overall selection in the June 1971 secondary draft.

Instead, the Senators chose pitcher Pete Broberg.

After the Chicago Cubs selected Burt Hooton with the second pick, the Milwaukee Brewers drafted Ellis with the third selection.

The Brewers immediately promoted him to the majors, bypassing minor league baseball.

Ellis was the fourth player to go straight to the Major Leagues after being drafted without spending a day in the minors.

The Brewers sold Mike Hegan to the Oakland Athletics, naming Ellis their starting first baseman.

The Brewers expected success from Ellis, comparing him to Chris Chambliss.

This turned out to be premature, as Ellis batted just .198 in 36 games that year and was sent to the minors.

The Brewers demoted Ellis to the Evansville Triplets of the Class AAA American Association, where he batted .300.

1972

In 1972, Ellis played for the San Antonio Brewers of the Class AA Texas League and Evansville.

1973

He spent all of the 1973 season with Evansville.

1974

Ellis began the 1974 season with the Brewers.

Despite hitting .298 in 47 at-bats, the second best batting average on the team, the Brewers demoted Ellis to the Sacramento Solons of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL) in June, when they acquired Deron Johnson from the Oakland Athletics.

Ellis batted .296 for the Solons in 1974.

1975

In 1975, Ellis suffered an arm injury in spring training, and the Brewers returned him to Sacramento.

Ellis spent all of the 1975 season with the Solons, with the exception of six games played with Milwaukee.

Ellis batted .250 with the Solons in 1975.

After the 1975 season, Ellis took out an advertisement in The Sacramento Union apologizing to the fans of Sacramento for his low batting average.

1976

Ellis remained with Brewers' affiliates, playing for the Spokane Indians of the PCL in 1976 and 1977.

1977

A free agent after the 1977 season, Ellis signed with the Cleveland Indians organization for the 1978 season, and played for the Portland Beavers in 1978 and Tacoma Tugs in 1979, both in the PCL.

1979

He was sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 1979 season, who assigned him to Portland for the remainder of the 1979 season, and for 1980.

1980

He played in the minor leagues until 1980.

Ellis attended Ottawa Hills High School in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he starred in baseball and American football.

1983

After he retired, Ellis became a coach in minor league baseball for the Chicago Cubs organization in 1983.

1985

He then served as an assistant coach at Michigan State from 1985 through 1990.

He also coached the Anchorage Glacier Pilots, a collegiate summer baseball team in the Alaska Baseball League.

1991

In 1991, Ellis managed the Everett Giants of the Northwest League from August 11 until the end of the season, replacing Mike Bubalo.
