Daniel Leonard Ozark, born Daniel Leonard Orzechowski (November 24, 1923 — May 7, 2009) was an American coach and manager in Major League Baseball.

30 December 1975, Press-Telegram (Long Beach, CA), “Hollingworth,” pg. C-5, col. 1:
Philadelphia manager Danny Ozark (on his rightfielder)—“Mike Anderson’s limitations are limitless.”
10 February 1977, Trenton (NJ) Times, “Whathesay?” by Bus Saidt, pg. D1, col. 1:

3 June 1979, San Diego (CA) Union, “Let’s Hear It For The Local Boy” by Wayne Lockwood, pg. H-2, col. 1:
