Was considered for a time to be the catcher of the future for the Mets, but he wasn't quite able to seize the opportunity, and then Gary Carter became a Met. John became a minor-league manager after his playing career, and finally arrived in the majors for an extended stay when he became the skipper for the Toronto Blue Jays. John's 1987 TCMA Tidewater Tides card is shown here.
