Bob Johnson (baseball)


 

Robert Lee Johnson, Jr. (November 26, 1905 - July 6, 1982), nicknamed "Indian Bob", was an American left fielder in Major League Baseball. A native of Pryor Creek, Oklahoma, he grew up in Tacoma, Washington and made the city his home. His nickname was derived from his lineage, one-quarter Cherokee. He batted and threw right-handed. His brother, outfielder Roy Johnson, played for the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Boston Braves from 1929-38.
