John Francis "Red" Waller (June 16, 1883 – February 9, 1915) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for one season. He pitched for the New York Giants for one game on April 27 during the 1909 New York Giants season. He pitched one inning, allowing two runs, neither of them earned.
An obituary of Waller in the Hartford Courant described him as "one of the greatest minor league pitchers that ever hurled a ball" but added that "failure to take care of himself cost him his chance for major league fame." He died at just 31 years old and left behind a wife and 8-year-old son in Jersey City, New Jersey.[1]
