  • Juan Andres Guzmán Correa is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball. He was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as an amateur free agent in 1985. Guzman spent much of his playing career with the Toronto Blue Jays throughout the 90's. Guzman pitched for the Blue Jays from 1991-98 and briefly played for the Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds, and Tampa Bay Devil Rays. His career ERA was 4.08. His first three seasons with the Blue Jays were excellent, as he went a combined 40-11 with a 3.28 ERA, and the team made the playoffs in all three years, including World Series wins in 1992 and 1993. Guzman won two games in both the 1992 and 1993 ALCS but was not able to secure a win in either World Series. His playoff record was 5-1 in 8 starts with a 2.44 ERA. Guzman had an ERA of 2.93 in 1996, which was the lowest in the American League among qualified pitchers. Guzman possessed a very good fastball and strikeout ability, striking out 7.5 batters per 9 innings during his career. On the mound, he worked very deliberately and was one of the slower working pitchers in the game, earning him the nickname "Human Rain Delay" from Toronto fans. He threw a lot of wild pitches, leading the league in that category in 1993 and 1994. Blue Jay team mate Kelly Gruber often joked that Guzman's distinctive Jheri Curl hairstyle would make him perfect for the lead role in a disco-era baseball movie produced by Rocco's Jobbers, the production company run by Gruber and team mate David Wells. Gruber once disclosed to the Toronto Sun that he had gone as far as to approach Guzman for the role, but he declined, citing his dislike for wearing "bright polyester on the big screen. " The movie was never produced.
