Taught by her uncle to throw a "surefire, windup, coming-right-at-ya pitch," five feet two inch Mamie Johnson meant business when it came to baseball. This "peanut of a girl" was so determined to play baseball that she joined an all-male all-white Police Athletic League team even though she was African American. She went on to become one of only three women to play professional baseball in the Negro Leagues. Black-and-white photos. Bibliography.
