 Cliff Johnson: A DH In A League That Didn't Allow One
Cliff Johnson is a fascinating player to look at because of the contrasts.
Johnson also led the Astros in homers in 1976 and hit a home run in 5.2% of his Astro at bats, a number that puts him within a stone's throw of more-noted Houston sluggers like Bagwell, Lance Berkman, and Moises Alou.
His fielding totals at first base for the Astros actually were not bad, but the club was saddled with Lee May. I might have played Johnson at first base and let May do the pinch-hitting, but I suppose the the lingering embarassment of the Morgan trade made that impossible.

 The Fool's Gold #9 - December 2003
The Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified by the smoldering wreckage embedded in the side of a cliff until the Air Force identified the remains of a JATO* rocket used to give heavy military transport airplanes an extra push for take-off from short airfields.
The vehicle quickly reached a speed of between 250 and 300 mph and continued at that speed, under full power, for an additional 20-25 seconds before the driver applied the brakes, completely melting them, blowing the tires, and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface.
The vehicle then became airborne for an additional 1.3 miles, impacted the cliff face at a height of 125 feet, and left a flened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
