Ernest Thorwald Johnson Sr. (June 16, 1924 – August 12, 2011) was an American professional baseball player and television sports color commentator.

His first big league win was also in relief, coming against the New York Giants on June 30, 1950, at the Polo Grounds.

Johnson led Western League pitchers with a .750 winning percentage while playing for the Denver Bears in 1949.

Following his playing days Johnson was a longtime color commentator and play-by-play broadcaster on Braves radio and television, working from 1962 to 1999.

He became an icon in Atlanta after the team moved there in 1966, and in the 1980s gained national exposure through his work with Skip Caray and Pete Van Wieren on "Superstation" TBS.
