To help our League celebrate the Negro Leagues this season, we are very fortunate to have three very special guests visit and join the celebration with us.
First - Maime "Peanut" Johnson. Maime was the first female pitcher, and one of only three women, to play in the Negro Leagues. She played for the Indianapolis Clowns from 1953-1955.
Second - Sonny Hill. Sonny is a member of the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. He is currently a sports radio personality on WIP Sports Radio.
Third - the Judy Johnson Foundation. Joe Mitchell, President and Founder of the Judy Johnson Foundation, will display his collection of Negro Leagues memorabilia - including a 1920 Hilldale jersey worn by Judy Johnson (known as the best 3rd baseman to ever play in the Negro Leagues, but even better known as a gentleman and "the most honest man in baseball").
THANK YOU for sharing your time with us!!!!!
