Bob Hamman is one of the all-time greats. He was elected to the ACBL Hall of Fame in 1999 and was the ACBL’s Player of the Year in 1990, 1993, and 2006. He has won the Bermuda Bowl 10 times, with an additional 6 silver medals. He has also won the World Open Team Olympiad, the World Open Pairs, and the Senior Team Championships. He has 54 NABC wins, including 6 Vanderbilts, 15 Spingolds, and 11 Reisingers. Bob was a member of the famed Dallas Aces and one of the original members of the fabled Nickell team.
Unfortunately, Bob had trouble with his camera, and we had to have most of our conversation over the phone. I apologize that the audio quality isn’t great. But it’s worth a little struggle to hear what Bob has to say.
You can listen wherever you get your podcasts.
