John Joseph Ryan (1853–1902) was an American outfielder from 1873 to 1877 in the National Association and the National League. After retiring from baseball, Ryan joined the Philadelphia Police Department in March 1891, becoming a well-liked and respected officer.[1] Ryan suffered a fatal heart attack and died while on duty, after being kicked in the stomach while trying to arrest Charles Hemple, who started a fight in a pub.[1][2]
