John Thomas Tobin (May 4, 1892 – December 10, 1969) was an American right fielder in Major League Baseball.

He attended a Catholic primary school in St. Louis and played amateur baseball in the city as he got older.

[1] Tobin signed with the St. Louis Terriers in 1913, a year before the FL was considered a major league.

[3] Tobin himself set a career best with a .352 batting average in 1921, the second of four consecutive seasons in which he collected more than 200 hits.

His 236 hits and 132 runs scored that year were both the second-highest totals in the major leagues as well as career highs.

By June of that season, the Senators released Tobin, and he was signed by the Boston Red Sox, with whom he finished his major league career in 1927.

[1] Tobin was involved in auto sales when not on the baseball field, and in 1925 he became co-owner of the Hildebrand-Tobin Motor Company in St.
