John Boozer

John Morgan Boozer (July 6, 1938 - January 24, 1986) born in Columbia, South Carolina was a Pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies (1962-64 and 1966-69).

He also played in the Puerto Rico Baseball Winter League in 1961,1962, and 1963 with the Ponce Lions. He was team mates with Nelson Briles, and a very young Steve Carlton. He was a great pitcher during those years and contributed to a championship for the Ponce Lions in 1963. He was very popular among local fans as he was always joking and making fun of himself on and off the field. He entertained kids and played dressed as a clown during an all star game.

In 7 seasons he had a 14-16 win-loss record, 171 games (22 started), 3 complete games, 62 games finished, 15 saves, 394 ⅓ innings pitched, 414 hits allowed, 203 runs allowed, 179 earned runs allowed, 42 home runs allowed, 139 walks, 282 strikeouts, 6 hit batsmen, 15 wild pitches, 1,690 batters faced, 21 intentional walks, 1 balk, a 4.09 ERA and a 1.402 WHIP.

He died in Lexington, South Carolina at the age of 47.
