Gregory Bernard Johnston (born February 12, 1955) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. Johnston played with the San Francisco Giants in 1979 and for the Minnesota Twins from 1980 to 1981.
Johnston grew up in Azusa, California and played baseball at Gladstone High in Covina, California. His nickname was "Scar" due to a big scar on the left side of his face that he got from an accident when he was a child - he was hit by a garbage truck. At Gladstone Johnston played alongside Jack Clark, where he was considered just as good if not a better player at the time. After Gladstone, Johnston went to play baseball for Citrus College before joining the minor leagues.
