As coach Richard Allen Bosman (born February 17, 1944) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Washington Senators / Texas Rangers (1966–73), Cleveland Indians (1973–75), and Oakland Athletics (1975–76).

He is the only pitcher in Major League history to miss a perfect game due to his own fielding error.
