1977 Topps #101 Dick Bosman
About Dick Bosman
Bosman went 4-2 with a 4.10 ERA for Oakland in 1976. He worked 112 innings in 27 games, 15 of them starts. His 1977 Topps card is #101 and shows him with the Athletics. Oakland released him on March 29, 1977, too close to opening day for another major-league club to sign him, and he chose retirement over a minor-league contract.
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.
