John Robert Candelaria was a Major League Baseball pitcher from 1975 to 1993. Nicknamed "The Candy Man", he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, California Angels, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Montreal Expos, Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

At the age of 15, Candelaria attended a baseball tryout where a Los Angeles Dodgers scout called him the best he had ever seen. The tryout catcher had to be replaced with a major league catcher for fear of injuring the stand-in.

Candelaria had his best season in 1977, when he was 20–5 with a 2.34 ERA in ​230 and two thirs innings pitched. He was also a member of the 1979 World Series champion Pirates team. On August 9, 1986, Candelaria no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 at Three Rivers Stadium.
