This guy had a short career in the 60's, and a very funny name. He must have been a closet alcoholic who drank in the bathroom.
It has to be the one and only John Boozer. :D

The station wagon cooker still has no takers?
Okay, here are some relatively easy ones...
- He was a trace of hope with armor.
- This player may've been a British policeman stung by Cupid.
- A player who could be considered a thin stud nail costing one cent.
- He was a beam of light in a lantern company.
