From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leslie Ferdinand "Buster" Narum (November 16, 1940 - May 17, 2004) was a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher who played for the Baltimore Orioles (1963) and Washington Senators (1964-1967).

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Narum debuted with the Orioles in the 1963 season, finishing with a 0-0 record in 9 innings. The next year, he was sent to the Senators in the same trade that brought Lou Piniella to Baltimore.
