Larry Doby Johnson - 1972
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. |

Yesterday's Debut
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).

Dave Philley
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.

Pittsburgh Pirates - 1969 - Part 1
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.
