Robert Andrew Meacham (born August 25, 1960) is a former Major League Baseball shortstop who spent his entire six-year career with the New York Yankees. He is currently the manager of the Buffalo Bisons, the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Meacham was originally drafted by the Chicago White Sox out of Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California in the 14th round of the 1978 Major League Baseball Draft, but chose, instead, to play baseball at San Diego State University.
He earned third team All-America accolades as a freshman, and was named San Diego State Aztecs team MVP in 1979. He was second team All-American in 1981 after batting .375 with seven home runs, 51 runs batted in and 44 stolen bases, and was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals with the eighth overall pick in the 1981 Major League Baseball Draft. He signed, ending his college career as SDSU's all-time leader in runs (214), hits (277) and at bats (767), and was second in career stolen bases (116), including a streak of thirty consecutive.
