John Lewis Pacella (born September 15, 1956 in Brooklyn, New York) was a Major League Baseball pitcher from 1977 to 1986 for the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles, and Detroit Tigers. Pacella had such an unusual delivery that at times his cap would fall off after a pitch.
From Brooklyn, Pacella moved to Suffolk County in 1965 and attended Connetquot High School. He was drafted by the Mets organization in 1974.[1]
