}} Larry Doby Johnson (August 17, 1950 – May 26, 2013)[1] was an American professional baseball player. A catcher, he appeared in 12 games over five Major League seasons for the Cleveland Indians (1972; 1974), Montreal Expos (1975–76), and Chicago White Sox (1978). Johnson was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He batted and threw right-handed, stood {{convert|6|ft}} tall and weighed {{convert|185|lb}}. He attended Cleveland State University and Manatee Junior College. Johnson was named for Larry Doby, the first African-American to play in the American League, a seven-time All-Star outfielder, and member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.[2] Doby was a star for the hometown Cleveland Indians the year of Johnson's birth. Johnson was selected by the Indians in the ninth round of the 1968 Major League Baseball draft. Although he had a 14-year career in minor league baseball and hit an even 100 career minor league home runs, his longest stint as a major league player was six games for the 1976 Expos. His five MLB hits in 29 plate appearances included two doubles. He drew two bases on balls and was credited with one sacrifice. However, Johnson and his namesake, Doby, were teammates (with Doby serving as a coach) 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 manager of the White Sox. Larry Johnson died suddenly on May 26, 2013.[3] His son, Josh, also played professional baseball and is a member of the San Diego Padres' {{mlby|2018}} coaching staff.[4] References1. ^1 Obituary{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 2. ^Cleveland Indians official web site 3. ^Morrow, Geoff (2013) Heavy-hearted Joshua Johnson earns Harrisburg Senators' Player of the Week honors 4. ^http://m.mlb.com/news/article/158583790/nationals-hire-josh-johnson-as-minors-manager/ External links{{Baseballstats|br=j/johnsla01}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Johnson, Larry}} 24 : 1950 births|2013 deaths|African-American baseball players|Baseball players from Ohio|Chicago White Sox players|Cleveland Indians players|Denver Bears players|Elmira Pioneers players|Evansville Triplets players|Gulf Coast Indians players|Iowa Oaks players|Jacksonville Suns players|Major League Baseball catchers|Memphis Blues players|Miami Amigos players|Montreal Expos players|Oklahoma City 89ers players|Reno Silver Sox players|Rochester Red Wings players|San Antonio Brewers players|Sportspeople from Cleveland|Sportspeople from Tampa, Florida|Statesville/Monroe Indians players|Waterbury Indians players |
