Frank Zupo Autographs
Frank Joseph Zupo (August 29, 1939 – March 25, 2005), nicknamed "Noodles", was an American professional baseball player. A catcher, he appeared in 16 games over parts of three seasons in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles in 1957–58 and 1961.
Born in San Francisco, Zupo batted left-handed, threw right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 182 pounds (83 kg). He signed with the Orioles for a $50,000 bonus after graduating from Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, a private Roman Catholic high school in his native city.
In 1957, Zupo entered the American League as a 17-year-old "bonus baby" without having played in the minor leagues; the bonus rule of the day mandated that MLB teams keep bonus players on their big-league rosters for two full years. That season, together with George Zuverink, Zupo twice formed the only "Z" battery in Major League history, the first time coming on July 1, 1957, when Zupo made his big-league debut with a 10th-inning catching appearance against the New York Yankees. He batted only 12 times in ten games in 1957, with one hit (.083).
