1952 Yankee of the Past: Don Johnson

"Pitching in American Legion ball in 1943, Don won 20, lost 1 and hurled six no-hit games. The next year, he was with Kansas City and Newark.  1945 and '46 were spent in military service where he pitched for a team that won 40 straight games.
In 1947, Don became a Yankee and had a 4-3 record. Sent down in '48, he returned to the Yankees in '50 and was traded to the Browns. A radio announcer during the winter, he came to the Senators in '51."
