Richard Ray Grapenthin is an American former professional baseball player, a right-handed pitcher who appeared in 19 Major League games, 18 in relief, for the Montreal Expos for parts of three seasons between 1983 and 1985. The 6 ft 2 in, 185 lb Grapenthin played collegiately at Indiana State University and was signed as an undrafted free agent by Montreal on July 9, 1980. He progressed through the Montreal system ? posting a microscopic 0.80 earned run average in 45 innings pitched for the Class A San Jose Expos of the California League in 1982. He made his MLB debut on May 3, 1983. Starting pitcher Scott Sanderson retired the Atlanta Braves in order in the top of the first inning, but on the third out, he was spiked in the pitching hand by Claudell Washington and was forced to leave the game. Grapenthin relieved Sanderson in the second, and kept Atlanta off the scoreboard for his first two innings; but in his third frame, he allowed a three-run home run to Bob Horner and a solo shot to Chris Chambliss, and was tagged with the eventual 5?2 loss. It was his only MLB appearance of 1983; he was sent back to the Triple-A Wichita Aeros and played out the season there.
