About Tony Welzer
- Anton Frank Welzer (April 5, 1899 – March 18, 1971) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1926 through 1927 for the Boston Red Sox.
- Listed at 5' 11", 160 lb., he batted and threw right-handed. Welzer, the third German to play for the Red Sox, entered in the majors as a member of the hapless Red Sox teams that lost 107 games in 1926 and 103 in 1927.
- His 4–3 mark in his rookie season represented the only winning record in the Boston pitching staff.
- A year later he went 6–11, ending third behind Slim Harriss (14–21) and Hal Wiltze (10–18), as nobody on the team had a winning record. Welzer gave up the 43rd, 45th and 46th home runs of Babe Ruth's record-setting 60 during a single week of the 1927 New York Yankees season. In a two-season career, Welzer posted a 10–14 record with 85 strikeouts and a 4.78 ERA in 76 appearances, including 25 starts, nine complete games, one shutout, and 310? innings of work. Welzer died at the age of 71 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
