Louis "Lou" Junior Grasmick (born September 11, 1924) is an American former professional baseball player who played two games for the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1948 season. After playing baseball, he operated a lumber business. When once asked about knockdown pitches he stated: "If you didn't thrown a knockdown, you were going to have problems with your teammates. You were expected to protect them. If the other pitcher threw at one for your players, then you had to square the account. It was the way the game was played. A different era now. And players then didn't have protective helmets.".[1] He was born in Baltimore, Maryland
