Doug Rau (born December 15, 1948 in Columbus, Texas), is a retired professional baseball player who pitched in the Major Leagues from 1972-1981. Rau attended Texas A&M University, and was a first round draft pick of the Dodgers in the secondary phase of the June, 1970, amateur draft.
Doug Rau was involved in an infamous argument in game 4 of the 1977 World Series with manager Tommy Lasorda. After giving up 3 straight hits, Lasorda went to pull him; Doug got into a profanity-filled argument on the mound in which fellow player Dave Lopes had to restrain them. The argument was recorded on Lasorda's microphone and is considered now to be prime Lasorda temper.
