- Birth nameRichard Raul Garcia
- Rich Garcia was born on May 22, 1942 in Key West, Florida, USA. He is an actor, known for For Love of the Game (1999), Monday Night Baseball (1976) and 1984 World Series (1984).
- Many baseball fans blame him for costing the Baltimore Orioles the 1996 American League pennant, due to a call he made in the Championship Series awarding a New York Yankees hitter a home run after a young fan had reached over the outfield wall and caught a ball headed for an Orioles outfielder's glove. The Orioles went on to lose the series to the Yankees.
- An American League umpire from 1975 to 1999, he worked in four World Series (1981, 1984, 1989, 1998) and two All-Star Games (1980, 1992).
