A sure-handed third baseman from the sandlots of Delaware, Judy Johnson was a key member of some of the greatest teams in Negro leagues history. Though he had little power, he was a skilled contact hitter who consistently batted .300 or better. In the inaugural Negro World Series in 1924, he led the Hilldale club with a .341 average. A smart, soft-spoken and well-respected player, Johnson later served as team captain of the mid-1930s Pittsburgh Crawfords, perhaps the Negro leagues' greatest dynasty.
