[edit] Biography

Charles Edward Johnson, Jr. (born July 20, 1971 in Fort Pierce, Florida) was a Major League Baseball catcher who played most recently with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2005). He bats and throws right-handed.

Johnson had previously played for the Florida Marlins (1994-1998, 2001-2002), Los Angeles Dodgers (1998), Baltimore Orioles (1999-2000), Chicago White Sox (2000), and Colorado Rockies (2003-2004). Johnson was also a member of the Boston Red Sox organization for less than a day. On March 30, 2005, the Rockies traded Johnson and pitcher Chris Narveson to the Red Sox for pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim and cash.[1]

Johnson graduated from Fort Pierce Westwood High School in Fort Pierce, Florida in 1989 and attended the University of Miami before being drafted by the Florida Marlins in the first round of the 1992 amateur draft.

Known as "C.J.", Charles Johnson was an outstanding defensive catcher, having won four consecutive Gold Glove Awards. He was also known for having a great arm and prevented many baserunners from stealing bases. He caught a no-hitter thrown by Al Leiter in the 1996 season. In the 1997 season with the Florida Marlins, Johnson played in 123 games and did not commit a single error, a major league record. The same season he caught a no-hitter thrown by pitcher Kevin Brown. Also in 1997, Johnson helped the Marlins win the World Series.

In a 12-season career, Johnson is a .245 hitter with 167 home runs and 570 RBI in 1188 games. He and Kevin Millar (currently playing for the Baltimore Orioles) are the only players in the Portland Sea Dogs Hall of Fame as of 2006.
