The son of outfielder Wally Mattick (White Sox, 1912-13, Cardinals, 1918), Bobby played only one season as a regular, with the Cubs in 1940. He became an incomparable longtime scout and player development specialist with many organizations, signing such stars as Frank Robinson, Vada Pinson, Curt Flood, Rusty Staub, Don Baylor, and Gary Carter. Mattick helped draft the expansion Blue Jays, and managed them to last-place finishes in 1980 and 1981.
