As I was scanning my Indians players for those 1972 uniforms, I vaguely remembered this guy from the 70s: catcher Larry Doby Johnson.

(images are from 1970 with the Indians and 1978 with the White Sox)

From his wikipedia page:

A catcher, he appeared in a total of 12 games over five seasons for the Indians (1972; 1974), Expos (1975–1976), and White Sox (1978). Johnson was born in Cleveland in 1950 and was named for Hall of Fame outfielder Larry Doby, the first African-American to play in the American League and a star for Johnson's hometown Cleveland Indians the year of his birth.

Johnson was selected by the Indians in the ninth round of the 1968 MLB draft. Although he had a 14-year career in the minor leagues and hit an even 100 career minor league home runs, his longest stint as a Major League player was six games for the Expos in 1976.

However, Johnson and his namesake, Larry Doby (then a coach), were teammates on three separate MLB clubs during the 1970s: the 1974 Indians, 1976 Expos and 1978 White Sox. Johnson's last game as a Major Leaguer, on May 25, 1978, preceded by five weeks Doby's July 1 appointment as the new manager of the White Sox.

Johnson died suddenly on May 26, 2013. A day earlier he had spoken to his beloved son, Josh, a player for Harrisburg (AA-Eastern League), to congratulate him on hitting two homers in one game.

To go with the above, here are some Topps Vault images of Larry Doby from 1958 with the Indians and 1959 with the White Sox

Christian Bethancourt.

Assuming that there will be no new debuts in the Rangers-Rays game today, Bethancourt is the final debut of the 2013 season. The 229 debuts this year were the sixth-most in major league history, following 1884 (357), 1995 (247), 2011 (239), 2008 (238) and 1914 (235).

Betancourt is ths year's version of ex-Phillies pitcher Tyson Brummett. who also made his MLB debut on the last day of the season (10/3/12).

Does anyone have a color photo of Dave Philley during his days with the Chicago White Sox? I haven't been too impressed with the grainy baseball card pictures that I am currently using.

A salute to the Pittsburgh Pirates for making it back to the playoffs after 20 years. A look back to the great days of the lumber company when the Pirates almost always were in the playoffs.
