Johnny Ray Biography

Johnny Ray is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on March 1, 1957 in Chouteau, Montana, United States. The Pirates, going with a youth movement, traded Ray to the Angels on August 29, 1987 for Miguel García and minor league prospect Bill Merrifield. García had a brief career in the major leagues while Merrifield never made it out of the minor leagues. Meanwhile, after narrowly missing making the All-Star team during a couple of seasons, Ray was finally chosen to the American League All-Star team in 1988.

Besides, Ray continued his productive hitting, leading the league in doubles in 1983 and 1984. He then won the Silver Slugger Award for second baseman in 1983, and finished fifth in the league in batting average in 1984. By the time, the switch-hitting Ray was consistently one of the most difficult batters to strike out.

Ray immediately became the Pirates’ starting second baseman. As a rookie in 1982 he played in every game and was named the Rookie of the Year by The Sporting News, even though the Baseball Writers’ Association of America selected Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Steve Sax as the Rookie of the Year.
