Joseph John Buzas (October 2, 1918 – March 19, 2003)[1] was an American professional baseball player, manager, executive and entrepreneur.

Buzas would own and operate 82 minor-league clubs[1] over the next 45 years, and was the owner and president of the Salt Lake Stingers at the time of his death.

A shoulder injury shortened his playing career, and Buzas briefly became a player-manager in the Cincinnati Reds' organization before going into private business in 1951.

In 1958, at age 39, he began his ownership career by taking over the moribund Syracuse franchise in the Class A Eastern League.

Moving it to Allentown, Pennsylvania, he signed a working agreement with the Boston Red Sox and began a long association that would see Buzas operate Bosox farm clubs at the Class A, Double-A and Triple-A levels over the next 35 years.
