Robert James Bowman (October 3, 1910 – September 4, 1972) was a professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of four seasons (1939–1942) with the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Giants and Chicago Cubs. For his career, he compiled a 26–17 record in 109 appearances, most as a relief pitcher, with a 3.82 earned run average and 146 strikeouts. Bowman is most noted as being the pitcher who beaned former Cardinal teammate Joe Medwick, an incident that nearly cost Medwick his life.[1]
