Terry Charles "Bud" Bulling (December 15, 1952 – March 8, 2014) was a Major League Baseball catcher for the Minnesota Twins (1977) and Seattle Mariners (19811983).[1]

In 1974, while playing for the Wisconsin Rapids Twins, Bulling was accidentally shot in the abdomen by a teammate. The bullet lodged in his pelvic bone and he spent three days in intensive care.[2]

In 1982, Bulling caught Gaylord Perry's 300th win.[3]
