Samuel Arthur "Sam" Bohne (born Samuel Arthur Cohen; October 22, 1896, in San Francisco, California – May 23, 1977 in Palo Alto, California), is a former professional baseball player who played second base from 1916 to 1926.
Bohne was Jewish, but according to author John Rosengren, the Cincinnati Reds persuaded him to change his name to Bohne because its front office ' "brain trust" didn't believe the city's largely German population would welcome a player named Cohen.
