Johnny Blanchard was a versatile baseball player who played for the New York Yankees and other teams during his career from 1955 to 1965. Born on February 26, 1933, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Blanchard attended the University of Minnesota where he played both baseball and football. He caught the attention of the Yankees organization, and he signed with them in 1951 as an amateur free agent.
Blanchard made his Major League debut with the Yankees in 1955 and primarily played the position of catcher during his career. However, he was also known for his ability to play the outfield and was used as a pinch hitter, pinch runner, and a designated hitter during his time with the team. In the 1961 World Series, Blanchard played a pivotal role by hitting two home runs in Game Four and one in Game Five, helping the Yankees win the championship. He finished the series with a .400 batting average and a slugging percentage of 1.200.
As his career progressed, Blanchard was traded to the Kansas City Athletics in 1965, and he retired from baseball the following year. He finished his career with a batting average of .239, 67 home runs, and 262 runs batted in. Blanchard passed away on March 25, 2009, at the age of 76, leaving behind a legacy as a versatile player who contributed to the success of one of the most successful baseball franchises in history.
