Johnny Blanchard


Johnny Blanchard was a hard-hitting catcher and outfielder known as "Super Sub" who played in five consecutive World Series for the New York Yankees in the '60s. Blanchard was mainly a catcher but had little chance of breaking into the starting lineup because the Yankees already had Yogi Berra and Elston Howard. He set a major league record in July 1961 with home runs in four consecutive at-bats over three games; that record was equaled by Jeff Manto of the Baltimore Orioles in '95.
