come and my sister was going to
get there that day.”
Johnson stayed in College Sta
tion, albeit under solemn emo
tions. Later that day in front of a
capacity crowd at Olsen Field, his
Aggies delivered a 6-2 victory.
Despite the somber mood that
his father’s death cast over him,
Johnson lists the accomplishment
made by his team that day as one
of his highlights of his career at
A&M.
Ironically most of what John
son considers to be highlights
during his 1 0 seasons as the head
coach at A&M have taken place
away from the diamond.
“I believe that my calling is to
maybe give them some direction
in life,” Johnson said. “Some of
my highlights are guys (former
players) calling back who have
found a job or are needing help.”
Junior shortstop Robert Harris
said he admires Johnson for hav
ing those feelings and beliefs.
“Coach Johnson is the type of
person that I’d like to be,” Harris
said. “He’s a fair person and he
always comes through with what
he says.”
Before becoming head coach
in 1985, Johnson served two
years as an assistant under A&M
coaching legend Tom Chandler.
When Johnson arrived on the
A&M campus in 1983, he
brought with him an impressive
resume.
After playing three seasons
( 1967-69) in the New York
Mets’ minor league organization,
Johnson began his coaching ca
reer as an assistant to Bob Leigh
at his alma mater, the University
of New Mexico.
After two seasons at New
Mexico, Johnson moved on to
the University of Arizona in
1972 where he served as an as
sistant for live seasons, one of
which was under Hall of Famer
Frank Sancet and the other four
under Hall of Famer Jerry Kin-
dall.
In 197 7 Johnson jouri

job at Mississippi State Univ
under yet another Hall <

“Just through osmosis I

Dodgers’ Strawberry suffers sting of substance abuse
i- tii
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Darryl Strawberry’s
lawyer says the troubled Los Angeles Dodgers
outfielder was abusing drugs and alcohol for a
"substantial period of time” before admitting
he had a problem.
Bob Shapiro also said Wednesday he thinks
Strawberry “bottomed out” on Sunday when
he disappeared and failed to show up for an
exhibition game.
Strawberry returned to Los Angeles from
New York on Wednesday after meeting with
one doctor representing the players’ union and
another representing the owners to determine
a course of treatment for his drinking and
drug use. Shapiro said Strawberry was accom
panied to New York by his wife.
Shapiro said he believes Strawberr
