1969 Topps #367 Lou Johnson
About Lou Johnson
Card 367 in the fourth series shows Johnson as a Cleveland Indian, which he had stopped being before the 1969 season began. His 1968 had split in two: 62 games and a .244 average for the Cubs, a June 28 trade to the Indians for Willie Smith, then 65 games and .257 in Cleveland, 127 in all. On April 4, 1969 Cleveland sent him to the California Angels for Chuck Hinton. He hit .203 in 67 games for California and retired at season's end, closing out eight big-league seasons.
Louis Brown Johnson, known around Los Angeles as Sweet Lou for his smile and his outgoing way, was a right-handed outfielder from Lexington, Kentucky. The Yankees signed him in 1953 and he spent seven full seasons in the minor leagues before debuting with the Chicago Cubs in April 1960. Brief trials followed with the Los Angeles Angels and Milwaukee Braves, then two more seasons back in the minors, the second of them at Spokane after Detroit traded him to the Dodgers for Larry Sherry in April 1964. His break came in May 1965, when a Tommy Davis ankle injury opened left field at Dodger Stadium; Johnson took the job, helped Los Angeles to a world championship and homered in Game 7. He split left and right field on the 1966 pennant winner, was slowed by injuries in 1967, and finished as a reserve with the Cubs, Cleveland Indians and California Angels. Eight big-league seasons left him at .258 with 48 home runs and 232 RBI in 677 games.
