Dick Bosman, a right-handed pitcher, spent over a decade in Major League Baseball, primarily with the Washington Senators and the Texas Rangers. Born on February 17, 1944, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Bosman began his professional career when he was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as an amateur free agent in 1963. However, it was with the Washington Senators that he would make his MLB debut on June 1, 1966.

Bosman's early years with the Senators were marked by steady development. By 1969, he had established himself as a reliable starter, leading the American League with a 2.19 ERA. This performance earned him recognition as one of the league's top pitchers that season. His ability to control the game and keep hitters off balance was a testament to his skill on the mound.

In 1971, the Senators relocated and became the Texas Rangers. Bosman continued to be a mainstay in the rotation, providing the team with consistent innings and leadership. One of the highlights of his career came on July 19, 1974, when he pitched a no-hitter against the Oakland Athletics. Remarkably, he achieved this feat without issuing a single walk, although he did allow one baserunner due to his own fielding error.

Following his time with the Rangers, Bosman was traded to the Cleveland Indians in 1973. With the Indians, he continued to be a dependable pitcher, contributing both as a starter and in relief. His tenure with Cleveland lasted until 1975, after which he was traded to the Oakland Athletics. Bosman's time with the Athletics was brief, and he retired from professional baseball after the 1976 season.

Throughout his career, Bosman was known for his control and ability to pitch effectively without overpowering velocity. He finished his MLB career with a record of 82 wins and 85 losses, an ERA of 3.67, and 757 strikeouts. After retiring as a player, Bosman transitioned into coaching, sharing his knowledge and experience with future generations of pitchers.
