Jim Traber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James "Jim" Joseph Traber (b. December 26, 1961) is a sports talk show host in Oklahoma City. He was a starting quarterback for the Oklahoma State University football team in the mid-1980's. He was also a Major League Baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles where his nickname was "The Whammer". He played baseball in Japan in his latter baseball career. His time in Japan is perhaps most memorable for an incident in which Traber rushed the mound subsequent to being hit by a pitch, chasing the retreating pitcher into the outfield. Grainy footage of this incident is still widely distributed on the Internet.
His involvement with sports talk radio began after his retirement from professional sports. He also served as a television color analyst for Fox Sports' regional coverage of the Arizona Diamondbacks during the team's World Series victory season of 2001. Currently, Jim hosts a show called "The Locker Room" that is created and produced at the University of Oklahoma Television and Satellite Services studio. Jim Traber has also co-hosted a weekly syndicated sports betting program with The Fat Jack, called "Jim Traber and The Fat Jack Show".
His sister is a civil rights attorney in California, and his brother, Peter G. Traber, leads the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. Jim's wife Julie is the president of a high-tech company in Oklahoma City.
