1967 Topps #207 John Orsino
About John Orsino
1967 Topps #207 is a third-series card and the last of Orsino's six cards in the Topps sets of the 1960s, listing him once more with Washington. The 1966 season it follows was lost to his elbow: surgery, repeated trips to the disabled list, and 14 games in all, more of them at first base than behind the plate, with four hits in 23 at-bats for a .174 average. A cyst was removed from the elbow after the season. He played only 16 games for Triple-A Hawaii in 1967 and appeared in a single major league game, on September 10, the last of his career.
John Joseph Orsino (April 22, 1938 - November 1, 2016) was a 6-foot-3, 215-pound right-handed catcher, born in Teaneck, New Jersey and raised in nearby Fort Lee, where he played ball at Fort Lee High School. The New York Giants signed him as an amateur free agent in 1957, and he climbed the farm system, hitting .296 with 21 home runs for Double-A Rio Grande Valley in 1960. He reached the San Francisco Giants on July 14, 1961, then lost much of 1962 to Army duty he was called into after the Berlin crisis, getting back in time for a single at-bat in a World Series the Yankees took from the Giants in seven games. Traded to Baltimore that December, Orsino had his finest season in 1963, then fought a broken hand, a weakening throwing arm and finally an elbow that would not heal after a 1965 trade to Washington. He left the majors with 252 hits, 40 home runs and 123 RBIs and a .249 average in 332 games, and played his last professional season in the minors in 1969. He later coached baseball at Fairleigh Dickinson University, managed in the Cleveland farm system, and coached Florida Atlantic University's men's golf team.
