Forget the guy who starred in the original tv drama, Don Johnson. This Don Johnson was a former Browns pitcher whose birthday slipped by us yesterday. On November 12th, our Don Johnson hit the big 8-0!
Belated Happy Birthday # 80, Don Johnson!
Donald Roy Johnson of Portland, Oregon was born 11/12/1926. His 7-year MLB pitching career as a BR/TR guy included time with the Yankees (1947, 1950), the Browns (1950-51), the Senators (1951-52), the White Sox (1954), the Orioles (1955), and the SF Giants (1958).
Johnson's career record was 27-38, 4.78. His record with the 50-51 Browns included 5 wins against 7 losses.
On this date in history, Nov. 13, 2006, Don Johnson is the 46th oldest of 61 living former members of the St. Louis Browns American League Baseball Club.
Sleep well tonight, Brownie Donald. We hope your family did a better job of remembering your birthday yesterday than we fans did here at the website.
