Former MLB outfielder "Sweet" Lou Johnson died Thursday night at the age of 86, the league announced Friday.
Johnson spent eight seasons as a player with five different teams. His longest spell came with the Los Angeles Dodgers, for whom he made 387 appearances.
"Lou Johnson was such a positive inspiration at Dodger Stadium with our employees and our fans as well as throughout the community in the appearances he made on behalf of the organization," Dodgers president and CEO Stan Kasten said in a statement.
Johnson was a member of the Dodgers team that captured a World Series in 1965.
