Ernie Johnson (Ernest Rudolph Johnson) was born on April 29, 1888 in Chicago, Illinois. He made his Major League debut on August 5, 1912 for the Chicago White Sox. In 1915, his rookie year, he hit .240 with 7 home runs and 67 RBI. Johnson played for the Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Terriers, St. Louis Browns and New York Yankees over the course of his 10 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was Ernie Johnson's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1921, when he hit for a .295 average and knocked in 51 runs. However, others believe that it was 1915, when he stole 32 bases and knocked in 67 runs.
