BIO: Lawrence Joseph Jansen was born in 1920 in Verboort, OR and died in 2009 in Verboort, OR. He played major league baseball from 1947 to 1956 as pitcher for the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Reds, appeared in the 1951 World Series, and was selected in 1950 and 1951 as an All-Star. After coaching and managing in the Pacific Coast League, Jansen returned to the Giants, now based in San Francisco, as pitching coach in 1961 and served in that role for 11 seasons. He then moved on to his final MLB coaching job, handling pitchers for the Chicago Cubs in 1972-73, working for his old Giants manager, Leo Durocher, and then his former teammate, Whitey Lockman.
