John Patrick Grabowski (January 7, 1900 – May 23, 1946), nicknamed "Nig", was an American baseball player. He played professional baseball for 12 years from 1922 to 1933, including seven years as a catcher in Major League Baseball with the Chicago White Sox (1924–1926), New York Yankees (1927–1929), and Detroit Tigers (1931). He was a member of the 1927 and 1928 New York Yankees teams that won consecutive World Series championships.

Early years

Grabowski was born in Ware, Massachusetts, in 1900 to a family of Polish descent.[1]

Professional baseball

Grabowski began his professional baseball career in 1922 with the St. Joseph Saints and in 1923 and 1924 with the Minneapolis Millers the American Association.[2] He was traded to the Chicago White Sox in July 1924 and made his major league debut that month.[3] He played for the White Sox for three years from 1924 to 1926, appearing in 89 games, 78 of them as a catcher.[1] One of the games Grabowski caught was Ted Lyons' no-hitter on August 21, 1926. [4]

In January 1927, the White Sox traded Grabowski to the New York Yankees.[5] He had his best season for the 1927 "Murderer's Row" New York Yankees, considered by some to be the best baseball team in history. Grabowski appeared in 70 games for the 1927 Yankees, sharing the catching duty with Pat Collins and Benny Bengough in 1927. Grabowski had a .350 on-base percentage for the 1927 Yankees. He remained with the Yankees through the 1929 season and won two World Series championships with the Yankees in 1927 and 1928.[1]

After spending 1930 with the St. Paul Saints, Grabowski returned to the major leagues in 1930 with the Detroit Tigers.[6] He appeared in 40 games with the Tigers, 39 as a catcher. He appeared in his last major league game in September 1931. In seven major league seasons, Grabowski appeared in 296 games, 282 as a catcher, and compiled a career .252 batting average and .295 on-base percentage.[1]

Grabowski concluded his playing career playing for the Montreal Royals of the International League in 1932 and 1933.[2]

Later years

After retiring as a player, Grabowski became an umpire in the Canadian–American League (1937), Eastern League (1938–1939), and International League (1940–1941). He suffered severe burns in 1946 after a fire at his home in Guilderland, New York. He died at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, New York, at age 46.[7]
