George Susce (catcher)

George Cyril Methodius Susce (August 13, 1907 - February 25, 1986) born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies (1929), Detroit Tigers (1932), Pittsburgh Pirates (1939), St. Louis Browns (1940) and Cleveland Indians (1941-44). His son, George Jr., was a major league pitcher.

In 8 seasons he played in 146 Games and had 268 At Bats, 23 Runs, 61 Hits, 11 Doubles, 1 Triple, 2 Home Runs, 22 RBI, 1 Stolen Base, 25 Walks, .228 Batting Average, .301 On-base percentage, .299 Slugging Percentage, 80 Total Bases and 10 Sacrifice Hits.

Susce served as a major league bullpen coach for almost 30 years, for the Indians, Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Athletics, Milwaukee Braves, and the expansion Washington Senators/Texas Rangers. He retired after the 1972 season.

Susce died in Sarasota, Florida at the age of 78. His unusual nickname, "Good Kid," was given to him as a young player because of his eagerness to help with mundane tasks associated with baseball. ["The Baseball Register" 1965 edition. St. Louis: The Sporting News]
