Robert G. Trocolor (March 31, 1917 – July 27, 1984) was an American football player and coach.
He then went undrafted in 1942 but eventually landed a spot with the National Football League's New York Giants, for whom he played for two seasons as a substitute quarterback, punt returner and halfback.
The team merged with the Boston Yanks in 1945, but Trocolor did not get picked up, so his professional football career ended after three seasons.
Trocolor was chosen as the 12th head coach in Stetson University's men's basketball program history.
The movie is about a group of 18- to 22-year-old men who are trying out for a Major League Baseball team, and he is one of the players.
