From 1991 through 1994, Johnson led the American League in triples, becoming the first player in Major League history to lead their league in triples for four consecutive years. In 1996, he led the National League in triples, becoming only the third player in history to lead both Major Leagues in triples ( Sam Crawford and Brett Butler being the first two). As of 2005, he is one of only four players ( Sam Crawford , Stan Musial , and Willie Wilson ) to lead a Major League in triples as many as five times. His 21 triples in 1996 with the New York Mets is the highest single season total in that statistic since 1951 (as of 2005). His speed on the base paths, and his uniform number "1", earned him the endearing nickname "One Dog". After graduating from Princeton High School , Johnson completed his education at the University Of South Alabama . REFERENCES
