Bobby wouldn't do that would he?

Name that SLGTer. He was raised in a poor sodbuster family and discovered hockey and the Blues when he moved to the big city of Keytesville MO. His pop made do with what they had and built him a high chair from a watermelon. It came complete with a teething ring. We know this member as ............
