2016 Special Guests

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!!!!!
