FOOTER

 

His real name was Richard Allen Johnson, but everyone called him Footer or Treads. He was known for his speed in the minor leagues and at Duke University (he was there the same time as Dick Groat), but he didn't make much of an impact in his very short major league career. In fact, he didn't even make it into the team photo during his only major league season (1958). He got a grand total of 5 at bats in 8 games that season, but never got a hit. He did, however, score one run when he pinch ran for Cubs catcher Sammy Taylor during a double header on June 22nd. He was knocked in by another obscure Cub...future manager Chuck Tanner.
