Robert Michael ("Bob" or "Bobby") Ojeda (b. December 17, 1957 in Los Angeles, California) is a former Major League Baseballpitcher who pitched all or part of 15 seasons for five different MLB teams. While an accomplished pitcher (he had a 3.65 earned run average in 1884 1/3 innings in his career), he is perhaps best known for being the lone survivor of a March 23, 1993 boating accident, when he was in training camp with the Cleveland Indians, that killed fellow pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews. Ojeda suffered major injuries and sat out most of the season to recuperate, but returned late that season and had a respectable 4.40 ERA in 43 innings. However, that would be the near end of his career. He was with the New York Yankees the following season, but was released after making two starts and never pitched another major league game.

He and his sidekick Bobby Murcer were not giving in to the superstition that forbids mention of a no-hitter when it is in progress-a great step forward, as far as I was concerned - but the day and the setting had taken on an eerie quality.
Dykstra was traded off to the Phillies, and others followed him out the door, as the team was dismantled, star by star, with manager Davey Johnson joining the exiles in 1990.
Cone's best friends on the club, BobbyOjeda and Ron Darling, went next, but when he himself was shuffled off to Toronto, in 1992, the move came as a shock.
