Playing at Centerfield, Johnson would become their starter in 1990, where his speed and defensive skills made him a valuable asset at Comiskey. Johnson had five top ten finishes in Stolen Bases for the White Sox, and from 1991 to 1994, he was the annual leader in the American League in Triples. Johnson did not have a lot of power (17 Home Runs total in Chicago) but could collect Hits, as he was the American League leader in that stat with 186 in 1995. That would be his final season in Chicago as he signed with the Mets the year after.
Overall, Johnson had 1,018 Hits with 77 Triples and 226 Stolen Bases with the White Sox.
