A wide range of performances in what is known as Period 2. Some Hall of Fame, some All-Star, a couple of question marks, and a guy who looks out of place: Introducing the Johnson Scale.
Medford Crackers
Johnson: Walter
Like an out of control Big Train, can't be stopped.
last place robots
Johnson: Ban
Laissez-faire leadership puts them near the top.
Somerville Squires
Johnson: Randy
Averaging 6.8 points/category. It's a stretch, but the Big Unit stands 6'11".
Mookie Dribblers
Johnson: Davey
"He dislikes the bunt and manages according to the credos of 'pitching and three-run homers' and 'play for one run, lose by one run.'"
The Sal Buteras Johnson: Howard
Minnie Minoso played with Randy Johnson for the 1980 Chicago White Sox; Randy Johnson played with Sal Butera for the 1982 Minnesota Twins. The other Randy Johnson.
Buckner's Boys!
Johnson: Charles
Pure coincidence that Russell Martin is BB catcher.
The Dummy Hoyas
Johnson: Lance
One Dog. Good for 1 point apiece in OBP/SLG.
La Fleur De Fragile
Johnson: Reed
Reed Johnson: averages HBP every 26 AB; La Fleur: 0 HBP in 377 AB.
The Lenny Websters
Johnson: Rankin
In 1914 Rankin Johnson faced Walter Johnson five times. Rankin won the first duel between them 5-0. They then split a pair of 1-0 games. Walter took a 12-0 game and then beat Rankin 1-0 again.
The Wookiee Squirts
In a different league. (One where he caught Clayton Kershaw!)
