Who is This Guy and Why is He Mentioned in Baseball History?

I was reading about baseball history on this day and I came across a name that I didn't immediately know.  So, let's see how the readers do with this one.  His name is Johnny Sylvester.  This is multiple choice so give it a go.

Is he

(a) the guy who caught Derek Jeter's playoff out turning it into a home run
(b) the guy who caught Luis Quinones' first career homer
(c) the first guy to line up for the bleachers at the Cubs first night game in 1988
(d) the sick guy in the hospital who Babe Ruth promised a homer to
(e) the guy in the San Diego Chicken costume
(f) the guy who caught Hank Aaron's 715th homer

Here is more information that might lead you to an answer.

Johnny was born on April 5th.

He died on this day in 1990.

He was born in New Jersey.

Never bad to show Babe Ruth.

Yes, he was the kid who Babe Ruth promised a homer to during the World Series.  I won't link to stories about this since the movie and the truth seem to be a bit at odds.  I like that in the Pride of the Yankees Gehrig promised a kid two homers instead of just one like Babe promised.

Extra credit if you can name three of the other answers.
