| John Lester "Les" Moss (born May 14,1925 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is a former player and manager in Major League Baseball. He played catcher for the St. Louis Browns for the most significant portion of his career, and was a backup catcher almost all his career, although at some points he could have been considered to be switching off with Sherm Lollar. In 13 seasons, he posted a .247 batting average with 63 home runs and 276 RBIs. He had 552 hits in 2234 at bats. He finished his career with the Chicago White Sox, still oddly alongside Lollar who had made the venture to Chicago along with Moss. He managed the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers. He began his tenure with the White Sox on a 36-game temporary basis after Sox manager Al Lopez had to undergo an emergency appendectomy. He went 12-24 (.333), although Lopez had not done, and did not do, too much better that year with the White Sox. In his time with the Tigers, a real job, he went 27-26 and was fired and replaced by Dick Tracewski, who was very soon replaced by Sparky Anderson. He finished with a managing record of 39-50 (.438) in 89 games.
