Russ Gebhart (born April 8, 1970), nicknamed "Gebster", is a former Major League Baseball pitcher and stand-up comedian.
[edit] Baseball Career
Gebhart played with the Montreal Expos, for one game in 1988, giving up 10 runs in only 4 innings pitched.
[edit] Comedy Career
After Baseball, Gebster went on to a lucrative stand-up comedy career. Modeling his comedic style on that of Bill Cosby, he performed in places like Branson, Missouri and Port Henry, New York, and became a minor celebrity with his derivative brand of family-friendly hilarity. After the crowds dwindled, Gebster experimented briefly with more "blue" comedy, taking cues from the likes of Don Rickles, however, the experiment failed. Russ is now retired from both comedy and baseball; he lives in McLean, Virginia with his wife and has been seen late at night, in his truck, reciting old jokes and playing the audio cassette play-by-play of his only game in the big leagues.[[Category:Living people]
