Baseball pitcher. He was a right-handed relief pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics and New York Giants. He played most of his games in 1933 for the Athletics, later returning to pitch for the Giants during World War II at age 35 in 1943, ten years after his last major league game. He made his pitching debut on May 8, 1933 against the New York Yankees at Shibe Park. His final major league game was against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 6, 1943 at Forbes Field. He also had an extensive minor league career. Coombs later coached baseball at Williams College from 1946 to 1973, and is the namesake of Bobby Coombs Field on the Williams campus. Coombs claimed to have once struck out Ted Williams with a spitball, and also claimed to have given up the longest home run ball that Babe Ruth ever hit. Before his professional baseball career, he played under former big leaguer Jack Coombs at Duke University who was also his uncle.
