John (Johnny) Andrew Beazley, born on May 25, 1918, was a right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Braves.
As a rookie in 1942, Beazley went 21–6 with a 2.13 ERA for the Cardinals. His 21 wins and 2.13 ERA ranked him second in the National League.
He completed his remarkable feat by pitching two complete-game wins in the team's World Series victory over the New York Yankees in five games, allowing three runs in Game Two and two in Game Five for a combined 2.50 ERA.
In this episode, his son, Terry, tells about his father’s life in baseball and beyond. His dad is one of Nashville’s favorite baseball sons!
