Robert Keith Dibble (born January 24, 1964 in Bridgeport, Connecticut) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. A promising young pitcher with a blazing fastball that often exceeded 99 MPH, he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the first round of the 1983 amateur draft, and made his debut with the Reds on June 29, 1988. He also pitched for the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers (both in 1995). He was an MLB All-Star in 1990 and 1991, and was the 1990 NLCS MVP. He required surgery to his pitching arm in 1994, and missed the entire season as a result. Dibble retired after the 1995 season. The town of Dibble, Oklahoma was named after him in 1998 as a joke by ESPN Radio. As of 2006, the name has remained.

Bad Boy antics
During his career Dibble often caused a great deal of problems for his teams. After one game he threw a baseball into the outfield seats at Cincinnati and struck a woman in the stands, fracturing her forearm. He was also involved in a brawl in 1991 with Astros shortstop Eric Yelding. That same season he was caught attempting to throw a baseball into the back of Cubs outfielder Doug Dascenzo as he ran down the first base line. Finally, Dibble was involved in a nasty locker room brawl with Reds manager Lou Pinella after a game. Dibble continues his antics to this day on Fox Sports' "Best Damn F'ing Sports Show Period Exclamation Mark" (later officially changed to "Best Damn Sports Show" as a defender of head-hunting and of Barry Bonds' alleged use of steroids.
