}} John Thomas Young (February 9, 1949 – May 8, 2016) was an American professional baseball player. He also scouted and worked in the front office. Young played in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Tigers in 1971. He founded Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI), a youth baseball program aimed at increasing participation among African Americans in baseball. CareerThe Cincinnati Reds drafted Young in the 27th round of the 1967 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft. Rather than sign with the Reds, Young chose to enroll at Chapman College, where he played for the school's baseball team.[1][1] He was drafted again in the first round, with the 16th overall selection, of the 1969 MLB draft by the Detroit Tigers, at which time he signed. He played two games in Major League Baseball at first base for the Detroit Tigers in 1971, going 2-for-4 with a double and a run batted in.[2] After the 1974 season, the Tigers traded Young to the St. Louis Cardinals for Ike Brookens.[3] Young rejoined the Tigers as a minor league instructor in 1978, and became a scout for the Tigers in 1979. He was named their director of scouting in 1981.[4] He also scouted for the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, and Florida Marlins.[2][5] Reviving Baseball in Inner CitiesWhile scouting, Young discovered that there were few African American players chosen in the 1986 MLB draft. After presenting his findings to Orioles' general manager Roland Hemond and MLB Commissioner Peter Ueberroth, Ueberroth contacted Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles, who agreed to fund a youth baseball program in Los Angeles, providing $50,000.[8][9] Young also received funding from the Amateur Athletic Union.[6] Young organized 12 teams consisting of 180 13- and 14-year-olds for Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) in 1989.[7][8] He obtained help from African American players, including Darryl Strawberry and Eric Davis, who are from Southern California.[9] MLB assumed operation of the RBI program in 1991.[10] Personal lifeYoung was born in Los Angeles, and graduated from Mount Carmel High School.[11] Young and his wife, Sheryl, had three children, Dorian, Jon and Tori. Young had diabetes, and was admitted into a Los Angeles-area hospital to amputate his leg on May 5, 2016. He died in the hospital on May 8.[12][13] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/594276462.html?dids=594276462:594276462&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=May+27%2C+1968&author=&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=Theft+a+Game+to+Chapman+Ace&pqatl=google |work=Los Angeles Times|title=Theft a Game to Chapman Ace |date=May 27, 1968 |accessdate=June 8, 2013 |first=Al |last=Carr}} {{subscription required|date=May 2016}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060208&content_id=1308934&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb |title=Young scores big with RBI program |first=Barry M. |last=Bloom |work=MLB.com |date=February 8, 2006 |accessdate=June 8, 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/1974-transactions.shtml |title=1974 Detroit Tigers Trades and Transactions |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |accessdate=June 8, 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=kehYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=IVIMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3811,4671259&dq=john-young+detroit-tigers&hl=en|title=Tigers name Young scouting director|agency=Associated Press|work=The Windsor Star|page=51|date=October 15, 1981|accessdate=May 9, 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web| url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=ST&s_site=dfw&p_multi=ST&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EAF8E4473EB710C&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM | title=Herzog wants to keep his free-agent Angels, but has eyes on others|work=Star Telegram| date=November 25, 1991|accessdate=May 9, 2016}} {{subscription required|date=May 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1992-05-31/sports/9202120114_1_big-league-baseball-scout-bobby-tolan |title=Scout Sees Inner Cities` Hope Wasted |work=Sun Sentinel |date=May 31, 1992 |accessdate=June 7, 2013}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|first=Gary |last=Klein|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1990-05-22/sports/sp-208_1_baseball-program |title=Program Brings Baseball Back to Inner City |work=Los Angeles Times |date=May 22, 1990|accessdate=June 6, 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=2bVPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=xgYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6730,5282297&dq=john-young+chicago+cubs&hl=en|title=Inner-city programs slow to produce major prospects|first=Tracy|last=Ringolsby|work=Ocala Star-Banner|page=5D|date=February 5, 1989|accessdate=May 9, 2016}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080224&content_id=2387908&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb |title=MLB's RBI program enters 20th year|work=MLB.com |date=May 24, 2013 |accessdate=June 6, 2013}} 10. ^{{cite web|author=MLB.com|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080805&content_id=3256217&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb |title=About Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities|work=MLB.com|date=May 24, 2013 |accessdate=June 8, 2013}} 11. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://mtcarmelcrusaders.org/profiles/67bio_jyoung.htm |title=Mount Carmel High School Alumni Foundation |publisher=Mtcarmelcrusaders.org |date=February 9, 1949 |accessdate=June 8, 2013}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15494780/john-young-founder-youth-baseball-program-dies-67|title=John Young, founder of youth baseball program, dies at 67|work=ESPN.com|date=May 9, 2016|accessdate=May 9, 2016}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://m.mlb.com/news/article/177039186/john-young-rbi-program-creator-dies-at-67|first=Tracy|last=Ringolsby|title=RBI program creator John Young dies at 67|work=MLB.com|date=May 9, 2016|accessdate=May 9, 2016}} External links{{Baseballstats |mlb=124703 |espn= |br=y/youngjo01 |fangraphs= |cube=20027 |brm=young-008joh }}{{1969 MLB Draft}}{{Detroit Tigers first-round draft picks}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Young, John Thomas}} 19 : 1949 births|2016 deaths|Arkansas Travelers players|Baltimore Orioles scouts|Baseball players from California|Chapman Panthers baseball players|Chicago Cubs executives|Detroit Tigers players|Detroit Tigers scouts|Evansville Triplets players|Lakeland Tigers players|Major League Baseball first basemen|Miami Marlins scouts|Montgomery Rebels players|San Diego Padres scouts|Sportspeople from Los Angeles|Texas Rangers scouts|Toledo Mud Hens players|African-American baseball players |
