Bobby Fiore

'Bobby Fiore ' (born in 1909, 33 year old at the time of the invasion) was a player for the Decatur Commodores with Sam Yeager, used to tease Yeager for his science-fiction read habit. He was particularly ashamed of this after the invasion, the train he was on was attacked by The Race and he was captured by them. While in captivity he was sent up into one of the Race's starships and met the Chinese peasent woman Liu Han. They were part of a study by the Race about the mating habits of humans. They eventually fell in love and Liu Han became pregnant. They were both allowed to return to Earth because of the pregnancy and they lived in China for a few months. However before the baby was born, Fiore became involved in the Chinese Communist movement against the Race and he left Liu Han to help fight. He died while fighting in a raid against the Race in Shanghai, using his pro baseball skills to be a particularly effective grenadier. His daughter is named Liu Mei.
