Kozicky had a very brief major league career with the
Cincinnati Reds. During the
1909 season, he was called up for two games and was used as a
catcher. In the
1910 campaign, he saw action in a single game as a
shortstop. In total, Kozicky had two hits in eight at bats for the major league club with a double, a
run batted in and a walk. Kozicky had a long minor league career with his best seasons coming at
Reading. Playing
first base for the
Reading Coal Barons of the
International League in
1919, he had a .335
batting average for the season. The newly renamed
Reading Marines of
1920 were helped by Kozicky's stellar campaign. Now playing as a catcher, he hit .336 with 94 runs, 33 doubles, 11 triples, 22
home runs and a .575
slugging percentage. Kozicky did some managing later in his minor league career including stints with the
Virginia League Kinston Eagles and the
New York–Penn League Binghamton Triplets. Kozicky was a scout for the
Philadelphia Phillies from
1961 to
1971. ==External links==
