Joe Tepsic

Template:Infobox MLB retired Joseph John Tepsic is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He played only one season-1946-for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was born on September 18, 1923 in Slovan, Pennsylvania, United States. He was 5'9", 170 pounds, and he threw and batted right-handed. He chose to attend Penn State University.

On July 12, 1946 at the age of 22 and wearing the number 32, Tepsic made his Major League debut. He played in 15 games, collecting zero hits in five at-bats. Tepsic was used primarily as a pinch runner, appearing in only one game on the field.

Tepsic played his final game on October 1, 1946.

In 1947, Tepsic was involved in a dispute. Furious over an assignment to the Minor Leagues, and thinking he warranted a chance to prove himself at a Major League level, Tepsic quit the Dodgers on 3 April 1947. He never played another major league game.

John Tepsic died on February 23, 2009, at the age of 85.
