1962 Back-O'-The-Card: Johnny Blanchard

"The slugging catcher was the Yankees' top pinch hitter last season, delivering base hits time after time in the late innings to break up a ball game. John hit four consecutive homers in four at-bats in three games last year.

John hit .455 in his first World Series in 1960. In the '61 classic against the Reds, he hit an even .400."
