Alva Lee "Bobo" Holloman (March 7, 1923 – May 1, 1987) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for one season in the American League with the St.
Louis Browns in 1953.
In 22 career games, Holloman pitched 65.1 innings and posted a win-loss record of 3–7 and a 5.23 earned run average (ERA). Born in Thomaston, Georgia, Holloman served in World War II before starting his professional baseball career.
From 1946 to 1952, he gradually rose up the minor leagues, and got a spring training invitation from the Chicago Cubs in 1950.
After the 1952 season, he was acquired by the St.
Louis Browns, who placed him on the major league roster.
He made his debut April 18, and in his first start on May 6, he threw a no-hitter, the only player to do so since 1900.
Holloman pitched in 22 games that season for the Browns before being sold to a minor league team.
He spent the rest of 1953 and 1954 in the minors before retiring from the game.
After retiring, he ran an advertising agency and worked as a scout before his death in 1987.
