Robert Edward Barthelson (July 15, 1924 – April 14, 2000) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the New York Giants in 1944. The 6'0", 185 lb. right-hander was a native of New Haven, Connecticut, where he graduated from Hillhouse High School.[1]

Barthelson is one of many ballplayers who only appeared in the major leagues during World War II. At the age of 19 he made his major league debut in a 4 July doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals at Sportsman's Park. Three weeks later, in his only big league start, he lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Polo Grounds.

In a total of seven games he was 1-1 with 5 games finished, allowing 5 earned runs in 9.2 innings pitched for a final ERA of 4.66.[2]

After his brief major league career ended, Barthelson became a pitcher for the West Haven Sailors,[1] an independent semiprofessional team in West Haven, Connecticut, that scheduled games against Negro League and major league teams.[3] He also pitched for the San Francisco Seals in 1945 and for the Minneapolis Millers in 1946, and at some time played for the Sacramento Salons.[2][4]

Barthelson died in 2000 in Branford, Connecticut.[5]
