Chief Johnson was born on Tuesday, March 30, 1886, in Winnebago, Nebraska. Johnson was 27 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 16, 1913, with the Cincinnati Reds. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Chief Johnson baseball stats page.

"Chief Johnson didn't come out for the third (inning). Was Kansas City's manager George Stovall a quick hook? No, the story is more interesting than that. Johnson had just jumped his Cincinnati Reds contract to play for the Federal League's Kansas City franchise. The Reds went to court and got an injunction from Judge Foell of the Superior Court. The papers were served after the second inning and Johnson had to be removed from the game." - David Marasco in The First Games at Weegham
