- James Rodney Richard (born March 7, 1950) is a former right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career, from 1971 to 1980, with the Houston Astros. After leaving high school, Richard was selected by the Astros as the second pick in the first round of the 1969 amateur draft. From the time he made his major league debut with the Astros in 1971 until 1975, Richard had a limited role as an Astros pitcher, throwing no more than 72 innings in a season. In 1975, Richard played his first full season in the majors as a starting pitcher. From 1976 to 1980, he was one of the premier pitchers in the majors, twice leading the National League twice in strikeouts, once in earned run average, and three times in hits allowed per nine innings, winning at least 18 games each year. On July 30, 1980, Richard suffered a stroke and collapsed while playing a game of catch before an Astros game, and was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery to remove a life-threatening blood clot in his neck. His condition brought a sudden end to his major league career at the age of 30. His 313 strikeouts in 1979 remain an Astros franchise record, and he held the team's record for career strikeouts (1,493) until 1987. In 1981, Richard attempted a comeback with the Astros, but this failed because the stroke had slowed down his reaction time and weakened his depth perception. He spent the next few seasons in the minor leagues before being released by the Astros in 1984. After his professional baseball career ended, Richard became involved in unsuccessful business deals and went through two divorces, which led to him being homeless and destitute in 1994. Richard found succor in a local church and later became a Christian minister.
- Richard venne preso dagli Astros nella prima fase del 1969 in prova. Nel 1971, venne chiamato nella tarda stagione a settembre. Il 5 settembre del 1971, a soli 21 anni, Richard debutta nella Major League con un completo gioco vinto contro i San Francisco Giants, facendo 15 strikes, e ne farà tre persino contro il futuro Hall of Famer Mays'. Richard si divide tra le minors e le majors nei successivi pochi anni, e non inizierà regolarmente con gli Astros fino al 1975. Dal 1975 al 1979, finisce in 1st, 2nd, 1st, e poi 5th in base. Finisce anche in 5th, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, e 1st con strikeout. Dal 1976 in poi, la sua ERA non finisce mai sopra i 3.00. Non ha mai vinto il Cy Young Award, ma arrivò terzo nel 1979, quando Bruce Sutter con i Chicago Cub vinsero il premio. Nel 1079 andò in 18-13 con la lega principale 2.17 ERA ed eliminando 313 battitori, si aggiudicò il record della Astros. Questo fu anche il primo anno in cui come principiante eliminò poco meno di 100 battitori. Giocò 38 partite e ne completò 19, con 4 shutout.

Richard是其中一個最強的投球手，擁有10-4的紀錄，1.73防禦率，但他1980年7月30日的比賽前中風，他中風之前幾天曾說過手臂，肩膊和背脊有痛楚，亦在7月14日的比賽中視力減弱，不能看清楚捕手的手勢，J.R. Richard差點失去生命，雖然他成功生還，但再也不能在大聯盟中投球，因而在巔峰時期被迫離開大聯盟，現為牧師。
