John Stearns
John Hardin Stearns (born August 21, 1951), nicknamed "Bad Dude", is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) catcher who played for the New York Mets from to after playing a single game for the Philadelphia Phillies in . Stearns was a two-sport star in college, and he entered professional baseball after being selected in both the MLB and National Football League drafts. He struggled with injuries in the latter portion of his career. He served as the catching coordinator for the Seattle Mariners〔http://seattle.mariners.mlb.com/team/coaches.jsp?c_id=sea Seattle Mariners Coaching Staff. MLB.com.〕 and the interim manager of the minor league Tacoma Rainiers before being named third base coach under Lloyd McClendon for the season. However, Stearns underwent surgery for a hiatal hernia prior to spring training and his slower-than-expected recovery compelled him to resign on March 7, 2014.〔(mob.com )〕 He remained in the Mariners' organization, however, as a scout for the 2014 season.〔
==Early career==
John Stearns was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 13th round of the 1969 Major League Baseball Draft at 17 years old, but he chose to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder instead. His older brother, Bill, was a late-round draft pick in 1971 and played in the New York Yankees organization, also as a catcher, but never reached the majors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bill Stearns Minor League player stats )〕
John became a two-sport star at Colorado and was drafted as a defensive back by the Buffalo Bills in the 17th round of the 1973 NFL Draft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All-Star Selected to Lead Senators )〕 When the Philadelphia Phillies made him the second overall pick in the 1973 Major League Baseball Draft behind pitcher David Clyde (who was out of the majors with arm problems at age 24), he chose baseball. Stearns was drafted just ahead of two eventual Hall of Famers, Robin Yount and Dave Winfield. Coincidentally, Stearns was also drafted ahead of Winfield in the NFL draft, as the Minnesota Vikings drafted Winfield in the 17th round six picks after the Bills drafted Stearns.
Stearns's professional career started with Philadelphia's Eastern League affiliate, the Reading Phillies in , but did not start particularly well. After batting just .241 in double A, he was sent to the high-A Carolina League's Rocky Mount Phillies for and improved drastically. Mid-season, he was promoted directly to the AAA Toledo Mud Hens. Although his hitting statistics were not fantastic at Toledo, he was called up to the Phillies that September. On September 22, 1974, Stearns made his major league debut and picked up his first hit, going 1-for-2 off the bench.
