'''John Terrence Slattery''' (January 6, 1878 – July 17, 1949) was a catcher and first baseman for the [[Boston Americans]], [[Cleveland Naps]], [[Chicago White Sox]], [[St. Louis Cardinals]], and the [[Washington Senators (1901–60)|Washington Senators]] for parts of four seasons between [[1901 in baseball|1901]] and [[1909 in baseball|1909]].  He was never used regularly, and some of his Major League stops were very short (he played only four games for the Naps).  He went to college at [[Boston College]] and [[Fordham University]]. He was head baseball coach at [[Harvard]] from 1920 to 1923 and [[Boston College]] from 1924 to 1927. In [[1928 in baseball|1928]], he was convinced to lead the [[Boston Braves (baseball)|Boston Braves]] for a year, but his stint with the Braves lasted only 31 games, going 11–20. He resigned as manager and owner [[Emil Fuchs (baseball)|Emil Fuchs]] hired [[Rogers Hornsby]] to replace him.

Slattery died in [[Boston]], Massachusetts, at age 71.
