He played with Trenton until 1884 when he was sold to the Cleveland Blues of the National League.[2] John finished his first major league season with 12 wins against 32 losses, 42 complete games, and a 3.68 earned run average.[1] When the 1884 season finished, the Blues folded, and many of their player were bought by the Brooklyn Grays, including John, Doc Bushong, George Pinkney, and Germany Smith. During his three seasons with Brooklyn he pitched alongside of ace Henry Porter, and Adonis Terry, winning 39 games. He was sold to the Baltimore Orioles after the {{Baseball year|1887}} season and pitched in only game.[1] Post-careerDuring John's playing days, he acted in an advisory role for the coaching staff of the baseball teams at Yale University, Lehigh University and Princeton University. Later, when he took over as the head coach of Yale's baseball team, one of his players was long-time future college football head coach for the University of Chicago and the University of the Pacific, Amos Alonzo Stagg. Harkins convinced Stagg to switch from outfielder to pitcher, and the two became friends, a friendship that lasted over 50 years. Later owned and operated a café for many years, and was an alderman in New Brunswick and then a Sergeant-at-Arms for the local court.[2] John died of a heart attack[2] at the age of 81 in his hometown of New Brunswick, and is interred at St. Peter's Cemetery.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web| title = John Harkins's career stats | work = retrosheet.org | url=http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/H/Pharkj101.htm | accessdate = 2008-01-23 }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=John Harkins's Obits |work=thedeadballera.com |url=http://www.thedeadballera.com/Obits/Harkins.John.Obit.html |accessdate=2008-01-23 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20061113010506/http://www.thedeadballera.com/Obits/Harkins.John.Obit.html |archivedate=November 13, 2006 }} External links{{Baseballstats|br=h/harkijo01|brm=harkin002joh}}
