John Henderson Burnett (November 1, 1904 - August 12, 1959) was a utility fielder in Major League Baseball for the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns.cite web |url= http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/B/johnny-burnett.shtml |title=Johnny Burnett Statistics |work= Baseball Cube|accessdate= 2008-08-21] In his nine seasons in baseball, Burnett played games at second base, third base, shortstop, and outfielder. Born in Bartow, Florida, he made his major league debut for the Cleveland Indians at the age of twenty-two on May 7, 1927 against the Philadelphia Athletics after graduating from the University of Florida.cite web |url= http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.php?p=burnejo01 |title=Johnny Burnett Baseball Stats |work= Baseball Almanac|accessdate= 2008-08-21] cite web |url= http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1927&t=CLE |title=1927 Cleveland Indians Schedule |work= Baseball Almanac|accessdate= 2008-08-21] Burnett wore uniform number 1 in all eight of his seasons with the Indians. In by|1930, Burnett's first season as an everyday starter, he was batting above .300 into July when, on July 19, he broke his wrist and was sidelined for the season.cite web |url= http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Johnny_Burnett_1904 |title=The Ballplayers - Johnny Burnett |work= Baseball Library|accessdate= 2008-08-21] Without Burnett, the Indians narrowly missed the playoffs after finishing eight games above .500.cite web |url= http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1930&t=CLE |title=1930 Cleveland Indians Schedule |work= Baseball Almanac|accessdate= 2008-08-21] cite web |url= http://www.thebaseballcube.com/statistics/1930/9.shtml |title=1930 Cleveland Indians Statistics |work= Baseball Cube|accessdate= 2008-08-21] On July 10, by|1932, still playing for the Indians, Burnett had a major league record nine hits in eleven at-bats in an eighteen inning game against the Philadelphia Athletics.cite web |url= http://baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/hits.shtml |title=Hits Records by Baseball Almanac |work= Baseball Almanac|accessdate= 2008-08-21] cite web |url= http://www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1932&t=CLE |title=Hits Records by Baseball Almanac |work= Baseball Almanac|accessdate= 2008-08-21] Burnett's record for hits in a game still stands today.

In late by|1934, in the waning years of his career, after eight seasons with the Indians, Burnett was traded by the Indians to the St. Louis Browns for outfielder Bruce Campbell. Wearing number 4, Burnett played only one season for the Browns before being traded to the Cincinnati Reds near the start of the by|1936 season for first baseman Jim Bottomley. Burnett never played a game for the Reds, and never played professional baseball again. His last game was on September 29, by|1935. Burnett died in Tampa, Florida on August 12, 1959 at the age of fifty-four from acute leukemia.cite web |url= http://www.thedeadballera.com/Obits/Burnett.Johnny.Obit.html |title=Johnny Burnett, 54, Dies |work= The Dead Ball Era|accessdate= 2008-08-23]
