What a card: John Henry Johnson appeared in 30 games, all but three of them in relief, in his second year with the Red Sox in 1984. He was released in April of 1985 and spent all of '85 in the minors before re-emerging with the Brewers.
My observation on the front: Another one of those backgrounds where it looks like the pitcher is the only one in the ballpark.
More opinion from me: I will always associate John Henry Johnson (such a great name) with the bad, old Oakland A's of the late 1970s.
Something you might know: Johnson, a top pitching prospect, was one of the seven players the Giants traded to the A's in March 1978 for all-star pitcher Vida Blue.
Something you might not know: Johnson surrendered the first hit of Rickey Henderson's career, a leadoff double.
My observation on the back: Another trivia topic that features the team shown on the front.
