Cliff Johnson Autographed 1985 Fleer Update #U-61 Texas Rangers Card

Add a Texas Rangers issue of veteran power hitter Cliff Johnson with this Cliff Johnson autographed 1985 Fleer Update #U-61 Texas Rangers card. The Fleer Update set documented players appearing with new clubs, and #U-61 captures Johnson after his move from the Toronto Blue Jays to Texas during the 1985 season.

Johnson joined the Rangers in August 1985, bringing a powerful right-handed bat and more than a decade of Major League experience. Capable of contributing as a designated hitter, catcher and first baseman during his career, Johnson became particularly well known for his ability to provide immediate offense off the bench.

Before reaching Texas, Johnson spent his early years with the Houston Astros and later became part of two championship clubs with the New York Yankees. He appeared in the postseason for the 1977 and 1978 World Series champion Yankees, giving him back-to-back championship rings during one of the franchises most memorable eras.

Johnson also carved out a special place in Major League history as a pinch hitter. He finished his career with 20 pinch-hit home runs, which established the Major League record at the time and demonstrated the power that made him such a dangerous late-inning option throughout his career.

Johnson played 15 Major League seasons with the Astros, Yankees, Cleveland Indians, Cubs, Athletics, Blue Jays and Rangers, finishing with 196 home runs and 699 RBI. The 1985 Fleer Update #U-61 documents his move to Texas and is an excellent addition for Rangers collectors, Cliff Johnson fans, Fleer Update set collectors, World Series collections or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
