Larry Sidney "Bobo" Osborne (October 12, 1935 – April 15, 2011) was an American professional baseball player and scout.
Osborne graduated from West Fulton High School in Atlanta in 1953 and passed up a football scholarship from Auburn University to sign a pro baseball contract with the Tigers.
In winning the batting title, Osborne edged Minneapolis Millers outfielder Carl Yastrzemski by three percentage points.
[1] In March 1963, Washington acquired Osborne in a trade for outfielder Wayne Comer, and he ultimately became the Senators' starter at first base in 1963, appearing in 125 games and slugging 12 of his 17 big-league home runs, including a two-homer day on May 2 against his former team.
After his MLB career concluded in 1963, he played six more seasons in the minor leagues, through 1969, then became a longtime scout for the San Francisco Giants based in Woodstock, Georgia.
