1976 Topps #298 Dick Bosman
About Dick Bosman
Cleveland sent Bosman and Jim Perry to Oakland for Blue Moon Odom in 1975, and Bosman finished the year 11-6 with a 3.63 ERA between the two clubs. He made 28 appearances, 24 of them starts, and pitched briefly in the A's playoff loss to Boston. His 1976 Topps card is #298, picturing him with the Oakland Athletics.
Richard Allen Bosman was a right-handed pitcher who spent eight seasons with the Washington Senators and Texas Rangers before finishing his career with Cleveland and Oakland. Signed by Pittsburgh in 1963, he was later drafted by the Senators and debuted in the majors on June 1, 1966. In 1969, under new manager Ted Williams, Bosman went 14-5 and led the American League with a 2.19 ERA as Washington posted its first winning season in franchise history. He started both the last game in Senators history and the first game in Rangers history. On July 19, 1974, pitching for Cleveland, he no-hit the defending World Series champion Oakland Athletics, missing a perfect game only because of his own fielding error. He closed his playing days with Oakland in 1975-76, then worked as a pitching coach for the White Sox, Orioles and Rangers and in the Rays' system.
