Judy Johnson
Baseball Hall of Famers of the Negro Leagues
Judy Johnson, also known as "Mr. Sunshine," tore through the Negro leagues as one of the best pinch-hitting third basemen who ever played baseball. This book is a remarkable look back at a sports hero who lived life to the fullest, played the game he loved, and always remembered to treat people as equals, regardless of how he was treated. Readers will learn how far a good attitude can take a person.

Series Review--"This series will be a valuable addition to school and public collections appealing to students with an interest in baseball, but also readable for students interested in history or discrimination."
