1967 Topps #108 Alex Johnson
About Alex Johnson
1967 Topps #108, from the first series, pictures Johnson with the St. Louis Cardinals. Back with the Cardinals that year, he platooned in right field with newly acquired Roger Maris, batting .223 in a reduced role. The Cardinals won the National League pennant and beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, though Johnson did not appear in the postseason.
Alex Johnson was a powerfully built outfielder from Detroit who signed with the Phillies out of the sandlots and broke into the majors in 1964. A right-handed hitter with rare bat speed, he moved through the Phillies, Cardinals, Reds, Angels, Indians, Rangers, Yankees and Tigers over a thirteen-year career built almost entirely on hitting for average. He earned the National League's Comeback Player of the Year award with Cincinnati in 1968, then broke out for a career-high 17 home runs the following season, before reaching his peak in 1970 with California, edging Carl Yastrzemski for the American League batting title on the final day of the season and earning an All-Star selection. His indifferent baserunning and outfield play drew constant friction with managers, and a 1971 suspension in California became a landmark early grievance case for the players' union. He finished his career with a .288 average over 1,322 games. After retiring he returned to Detroit and ran the family trucking business.
