Raymond Joseph Cannon (August 26, 1894 – November 25, 1951) was an attorney, baseball player and Democratic politician who represented Wisconsin's 4th congressional district in the Congress from 1933 to 1939.

[1] Born in Ironwood, Michigan, Cannon lost both of his parents when he was six months old and he went to an orphanage shortly then he was raised by his family members.

He pitched against the Philadelphia Phillies in a spring training exhibition game in March 1918 and gave up 13 runs on 17 hits in 9-innings.

Felsch's teammates Buck Weaver, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Swede Risberg also became Cannon's clients.

In 1934, after Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia called for a Roman Catholic boycott of all films, Cannon (himself a Catholic) announced plans to introduce a congressional bill, supported by both Democrats and Republicans, which would introduce Government oversight of film censorship.
