		Shocker led the league in wins once (27 in ’21), in strikeouts once (149 in ‘22) and in fewest base runners allowed (opposing hitters only managed a.306 OBP against him in ’23.) He was a good fielder, and nearly impossible to steal bases off of.
		Bill Veeck signed him for the Indians in ’48, when he was 42 or 48 years old (depending on who you believe—many said Paige was born in 1900, but he always claimed to be born in 1906.) He went 10-8 with 6 saves and 3 complete games over two seasons in Cleveland.
		His best season was with the Browns in ’52, when he led the league with 8 relief wins, and finished second in saves with 10.

		One of the interesting aspects of the Browns of the late 1940s was the fact they would even give the likes of Johnson that proverbial cup of coffee.
		St. Mary's in the 1930s was far better known as a small college football powerhouse, but the Golden Gaels also fielded a baseball team, and that was Johnson's next stop in his baseball odyssey.
		Not only did there cease to be a St. Louis Browns major league team where the Chet Johnsons of the world could ply their trade, PCL teams became affiliated with major league franchises rather than functioning as independents.

		The team played so poorly throughout its existence (they became the Baltimore Orioles in 1954) that they inspired the phrase 'First in shoes, first in booze and last in the American League.'
