Who is Lamar Johnson?

Lamar Johnson Sr., graduated from Wenonah High School, class of 1968, is a retired American professional baseball player, a first baseman who played in the Major Leagues from 1974–1982 for the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers. A right-handed batter and thrower, Johnson stood 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 215 pounds.
