1965 Topps #363 Bob Johnson
About Bob Johnson
By 1965 Johnson was Baltimore's all-purpose infielder in the truest sense, appearing in 34 games at first base, 23 at shortstop, 13 at third and five at second. He batted .242 with five home runs and 27 RBIs in 87 games, drew 15 walks, and added 17 pinch-hitting appearances to the utility work. Hank Bauer's Orioles finished third for the second straight season, a year short of the pennant. Card #363 comes from the fifth series.
Robert Wallace Johnson, born March 4, 1936, in Omaha, Nebraska, grew up in Edina, Minnesota, and signed with the Detroit Tigers out of high school in 1954. He spent six seasons in Detroit's minor-league chain before the Kansas City Athletics took him in the Rule 5 draft in November 1959. Over an 11-year major-league career from 1960 to 1970, Johnson played every infield position for seven clubs, valued as a versatile fill-in and a dangerous pinch hitter; he led the American League in pinch hits in 1964 and the National League in pinch hits in 1967. Kansas City teammate Bill Tuttle tagged him Rocky for his resemblance to slugger Rocky Colavito. Johnson was a member of the Baltimore Orioles' 1966 World Series championship team, though he never got into the Series. He finished with a .272 batting average, 44 home runs and 230 RBIs in 874 games across stints with the Athletics, Senators, Orioles, Mets, Reds, Braves, Cardinals and the Athletics again, by then in Oakland. After retiring he returned to Minnesota and worked in sales. He died in St. Paul in November 2019 at 83.
