Dave Johnson (1970s pitcher)

David Charles Johnson (born October 4, 1948) is a former professional baseball pitcher. He played all or part of four seasons in Major League Baseball between 1974 and 1978 for the Baltimore Orioles and Minnesota Twins. Though Johnson was the very first player acquired by the Seattle Mariners (purchased from the Orioles prior to the 1976 Major League Baseball expansion draft), and had a 1977 Topps baseball card that showed him as a Mariner, Johnson did not make the team out of spring training. He was sold to Minnesota in May, and spent the 1977 and 1978 seasons with the Twins.
