James Joseph "Jim" Russo (April 22, 1922 – February 8, 2004) was a baseball scout for the St. Louis Browns and Baltimore Orioles. He was one of professional baseball's original "Super Scouts". He not only excelled in finding talented players, but pioneered observing and reporting on the tendencies of opposing teams to provide insight and strategy on how those teams could be more easily defeated when the Orioles would play them in the future. Most notably, his advance scouting of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1966 is considered a key reason that the underdog Orioles defeated the Dodgers 4–0 in the 1966 World Series. A New York Times article once referred to him as "baseball's secret weapon".
