}}John Grodzicki (February 26, 1917 – May 2, 1998) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher. A native of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, he pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1941, 1946 and 1947.[1] The right-hander stood {{convert|6|ft|1|in}} and weighed {{convert|200|lb}}. A top pitching prospect before the outbreak of World War II, he would pitch in 24 games (23 in a relief role) for the Cardinals, winning 2 and losing 2, with an earned run average of 4.43.[1] He allowed 31 hits and 34 bases on balls in 40{{fraction|2|3}} MLB innings pitched, with 20 strikeouts. Grodzicki's baseball career was interrupted by four years of military service. He served in the United States Army's 17th Airborne Division and became a paratrooper. In combat in Germany on March 29, 1945, Grodzicki sustained shrapnel wounds to both legs. He was awarded a Purple Heart, and required surgery and extensive rehabilitation to resume his baseball career after the war's end.[2] Grodzicki's professional playing career — spent entirely in the Cardinal organization — stretched from {{baseball year|1936}} through {{baseball year|1952}}, including 11 years in minor league baseball. He later managed in the Redbird farm system, scouted for the Cardinals, then became a minor league instructor for the Detroit Tigers for over a dozen years. He then spent a season (1979) as the Tigers' MLB pitching coach.[3] He died at age 81 in Daytona Beach, Florida.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Johnny Grodzicki|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grodzjo01.shtml|work=Baseball-Reference.com|accessdate=2009-10-03}} 2. ^Baseball in Wartime 3. ^{{cite web|title=Tigers All-Time Coaches|url=http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/det/history/coaches.jsp|publisher=Major League Baseball|accessdate=2009-10-03}} External links
