Louis Junior Grasmick (September 11, 1924 – May 26, 2016)[1] was an American businessman, philanthropist, and professional baseball pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the 1948 Philadelphia Phillies.
A Baltimore native, Grasmick was married to former Maryland School Superintendent Nancy Grasmick and lived for many years in Phoenix, Maryland.[2] Long active in Baltimore political and business circles, he often worked closely with former Maryland Governors William Donald Shaefer and Robert Ehrlich on various development projects. Ehrlich recalled that Grasmick was a "very principled, very tough guy".[2]
