Roy Edward Johnson (June 27, 1959 – January 26, 2009) was an American professional baseball outfielder who appeared in 36 games in Major League Baseball (MLB), mainly as a center fielder, in parts of three seasons for the Montreal Expos (1982, 1984–1985). Listed at 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall and 205 pounds (93 kg), the native of Parkin, Arkansas, batted and threw left-handed. He was selected by the Expos in the fifth round of the 1980 Major League Baseball draft out of Tennessee State University. Johnson was a distinguished hitter in the minors, but he was not able to translate it to major league success. He posted a .171 batting average (12-for-70) with four doubles, one home run (a two-run shot off Rich Bordi of the Chicago Cubs on September 12, 1984) and four runs batted in through 79 MLB plate appearances. In his eight-season minor league career, Johnson hit .291 with 85 homers and 428 RBI in 773 games, including an .829 on-base plus slugging percentage. He hit .361 with 90 RBI and a .561 slugging percentage at Triple-A for the 1982 Wichita Aeros, where he also played in 1983. Dealt to the Oakland Athletics, he was a member of the Triple-A Tacoma Tigers during three seasons
