Robert Boden Scheffing (1913–1985), nicknamed "Grumpy," was a right-handed catcher from Overland, Missouri who spent most of his playing career with the Chicago Cubs (1941–42, 1946–50) after being selected from the Cardinals' farm system in the 1940 Rule 5 draft. He also appeared with the Cincinnati Reds and Cardinals, finishing with a .263 average, 357 hits, and 517 games over eight MLB seasons.
