Victor Joseph Roznovsky (October 19, 1938 – January 18, 2022) was an American professional baseball catcher who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles, and Philadelphia Phillies, from 1964 to 1969. During his playing days, Roznovsky stood 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m) tall, weighing 180 pounds (82 kg). He batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
