Excerpt: Eugene James Petralli (born September 25, 1959) is a former professional baseball player. He played all or part of twelve seasons in Major League Baseball from 1982 to 1993, primarily as a catcher. Petralli is the son of former minor leaguer Gene Petralli, who played in the minor leagues from 1948 to 1953. Petralli graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in Sacramento, and went on to Sacramento City College. He was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 3rd round (53rd overall pick) of the January regular phase of the 1978 amateur entry draft. Petralli made his professional debut in 1978 with the Medicine Hat Blue Jays of the rookie Pioneer League, where he batted .281 in 65 games, playing some third base as well as catching. The following season, he started the year with the class-A Dunedin Blue Jays, batting .288 in 52 games, then was promoted to the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs, where he batted .232 in 18 games. In 1980, Petralli was assigned to Double-A with the Knoxville Blue Jays. In his first full season all at one level, he played 116 games and batting .285 with 3 home runs. Petralli was promoted back to Syracuse in 1981, but had to split time with two other Blue Jay catching prospects, Dan Whitmer and Ramon Lora, playing in just 45 games and batting .265. Petralli played for the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers both of the American League. He played catcher, first base, second base, third base, outfield, and designated hitter. In 1982, Petralli was given the full-time job at Syracuse, and he responded with minor league career bests in batting average (.289), home runs (9) and runs batted in (58). This earned him a September call-up, and he made his debut on September 4, pinch-hitting for catcher Buck Martinez and striking out. He got his first major league hit the following day, a double off Len Barker of the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, then finished the season with a .364 average in 16 games.
