"The Only Compassionate Duck" Bob Welch, author of "The Wizard of Foz"

Though he's not a former Oregon State student-athlete, Bob Welch joins the Beaver Tales Podcast to talk about the book he wrote about a former OSU student-athlete. "The Wizard of Foz" details the story of legendary high jumper Dick Fosbury - 1968 Gold Medalist, inventor of the Fosbury Flop, and Oregon State alumnus.

Bob Welch is an award-winning columnist and author, a Corvallis native and (shh, don't tell anyone) a graduate of the University of Oregon. The late great OSU fullback Bill Enyart called Bob "The Only Compassionate Duck," and he was compassionate enough to join the Beaver Tales Podcast to talk about OSU legend Dick Fosbury.
