Robert Edward "Bob" Montgomery (born April 16, 1944) is an American former baseball catcher who played ten seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Nicknamed "Monty", he played his entire career for the Boston Red Sox from 1970 to 1979.
He batted and threw right-handed and also played six games at first base.
But he occasionally jokes that he is "amphibious", meaning he is ambidextrous, as he writes left-handed. Montgomery signed for the Boston Red Sox as an amateur free agent in 1962 and played for seven of their minor league affiliates until 1970, when the Red Sox promoted him to the major leagues.
There, he served as the team's backup catcher behind future Hall of Fame member Carlton Fisk.
He spent the next nine years with the Red Sox and played his last game on September 9, 1979.
Montgomery is most famous for being the last major league player to bat without wearing a batting helmet.
