Create a list ». Johnson earned the distinction of being the batter who got the final hit off Sandy Koufax , a single in Game Two.
Johnson built on his fine rookie year with fine defense and more power ten home runs and 30 doubles in , though the Orioles fell to sixth place.
After the season the Orioles traded Luis Aparicio to the Chicago White Sox, and the ascension of shortstop Mark Belanger completed the great infield along with Johnson, third baseman Brooks Robinson, and first baseman Boog Powell that helped define the great Orioles of the coming years. Johnson battled back woes in , but still hit. He was selected to another All-Star Game , though he did not play, and won his first Gold Glove for his defensive play.
He did all this despite regular visits to the chiropractor and enough discomfort that he often could not sit down. In he fed various batting orders into a computer at Trinity College, where he took classes, to see what the optimal Baltimore lineup would be. Johnson had another excellent year in , hitting. He also starred in the postseason, hitting. In early Johnson spoke out about his annual contract hassles, and announced that he had asked the club to trade him.
I like the players, the coaches, and the manager. He came through in with his best year yet,. In the end, the club lost the World Series to the Pirates. In Johnson battled shoulder and back woes and hit just. Johnson was also affected by the emergence of year-old infielder Bobby Grich , who played games mainly at shortstop and second base. Grich quickly became a star both at bat and in the field, making the year-old Johnson expendable.
On November 30, he was traded to the Atlanta Braves in a six-player deal. In Johnson made the most of his new league, belting 43 home runs and driving in 99 runs for the Braves. He joined with Darrell Evans 41 and Henry Aaron 40 to be the first set of three teammates to hit 40 home runs in a season. He helped make me a better hitter. The next season he shifted between first base and second base in deference to Marty Perez. For the season Johnson started 70 games at first and 62 at second, and hit just.
The next season he was tapped as a platoon first baseman, but after a single at-bat a pinch-hit double he signed with the Yomiuri Giants of the Japan Central League.
The Giants were the most dominant and storied team in Japanese baseball, having won 15 Japan Series titles in the previous 24 seasons, featuring both Oh and Shigeo Nagashima. The immensely popular Nagashima had retired at the end of the season, and immediately was named manager.
One of his first acts was to recruit Johnson as his replacement, making Johnson the first foreign-born player on the Giants in nearly 20 years and the first American star player to play in Japan. His season was a disaster—he hit just. I thought I was losing it there for a while. Choice is:. Powered by. Postseason Batting Postseason Game Log. Standard Fielding.
