Robert Person

Robert Alan Person (born October 6, 1969) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher who played nine seasons in Major League Baseball: two for the New York Mets, two and a half for the Toronto Blue Jays, three and a half for the Philadelphia Phillies, and only seven games pitched for the Boston Red Sox in the last year of his career.

He was an outfielder at Seminole until his coach bet the team's relief pitchers that he could find a position player on the roster who had a better arm than them.

Granted free agency after the 2002 season, he joined the Red Sox for a short and unsuccessful stint.

Randy Lerch had been the last Phillies pitcher before Person to hit two home runs in a game, a feat that he accomplished on September 30, 1978.
