Raymond Franklin "Bobby" Coombs (February 2, 1908 - October 21, 1991) was a Major League Baseball pitcher. The 5'9 1/2", 160 lb. right-hander played for the Philadelphia Athletics (1933) and New York Giants (1943). His career was unusual in that he went almost ten years between major league appearances.
A native of Goodwins Mills, Maine, Coombs made his major league debut in relief on June 8, 1933 in a home game against the New York Yankees at Shibe Park. His final game, almost ten years later at the age of 35, was in a doubleheader against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field (June 6, 1943).
Career totals include 30 games pitched, all in relief, a 0-2 record with 17 games finished, 2 saves, 49 earned runs allowed in 47.1 innings, and an ERA of 9.32.
Coombs died at the age of 83 in Ogunquit, Maine.
