John Charles O'Connor (December 1, 1891 - May 30, 1982) was a Major League Baseball player.
Nicknamed "Bucky", he played one game at catcher for the Chicago Cubs on September 17, 1916.
O'Connor replaced the Cubs' Rowdy Elliott after he "split" his finger on a foul tip.
The Cubs' other catchers, Jimmy Archer and Art Wilson, were themselves injured.
O'Connor caught one inning until Wilson, who had been sitting in the grandstand, then "limped" to the Cubs' clubhouse to put on his uniform, replaced O'Connor and finished the game.
