A rash of injuries early in 1988 forced the Cardinals to bring in added help on their big league training staff - and Robert Harrison appears to have been a beneficiary.
The Cardinals turned to Brad Henderson, trainer at AA Arkansas to serve in their new assistant trainer slot.
Backfilling behind Henderson, and taking the Arkansas training job: St. Louis-native Robert Harrison, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote.
Further information on Harrison's training career, however, is scarce. The Post-Dispatch only referenced Harrison's destination and hometown, not where he was coming from or information on his background.
Harrison went on to serve as a trainer for at least two more seasons in the Cardinals system.
He appeared on a card for the rookie Johnson City Cardinals in 1989 and for the short-season Hamilton Redbirds in 1990.
But, even though he appeared on the cards, the card makers appeared uninterested in providing more about him. On each card - 1989 and 1990 - the card backs read "No information available."
What Harrison did beyond 1990 was also unavailable, as no connection between the Cardinals minor league trainer Harrison and others could be found.
