We remember Ken Johnson who was born in Florida on this day in 1933.   He died in 2015.

Ken Johnson went down in baseball history for something that happened on April 23, 1964 or the day that he pitched a no-hitter but lost 1-0.  

Ken broke with the A's in 1958 but became a starter with the expansion Astros in 1962.   He pitched well and won 32 games over 4 seasons.

In 1965, Johnson was traded to the Braves winning 45 games in 4 seasons.

Johnson retired in 1970 with 97 wins and a good 3.46 ERA.
