Johnny tied a Big League record in 1942, by becoming 1 of the 16 players in the history of baseball to get more than 200 hits in his first year.

He led the American League in Hits in '46 and 47 and was the shortstop on the Major League All-Star Team in '42 and '46. During the War he served as a Navy Lieutenant.
