Charles Edward Johnson Jr. (born July 20, 1971) is an American former professional baseball player.[1] He played as a catcher in Major League Baseball with the Florida Marlins (1994–1998, 2001–2002), the Los Angeles Dodgers (1998), the Baltimore Orioles (1999–2000), the Chicago White Sox (2000), the Colorado Rockies (2003–2004), and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2005).
The two-time National League All-Star player was considered one of the best defensive catchers of his era, winning four consecutive Gold Glove Awards between 1995 and 1998.[1][2] He was a member of the 1997 world champion Florida Marlins team and is one of only three catchers in Major League history to catch at least 100 games in a single season without committing an error.[3]
