"One Day In Baseball"
An S.I. story covered
His last big league day
 |
| 1987 Topps Traded #56T Joe Johnson |
In July of 1987, Sports Illustrated released an issue dedicated to all the games from a single day (June 21st). A reporter was assigned to each game from that day and wrote about some aspect of that day. Hall of Fame writer Peter Gammons was assigned the game in Toronto, and spent the day with scheduled starter Johnson and his family. Little did anyone know that Johnson would be sent to the minors after that game, and he would never make his way back to the Majors.
