A Strong Right Arm The Story of Mamie "Peanut" Johnson (Carter G Woodson Honor Book (Awards)) Hardback - 2002
by Michelle Y. Green
Summary
Mamie Johnson looks the batter in the eye. Sizes him up for a curve- or a fastball. Stretches her 5'2" frame. And pops a surefire, windup, coming-right-at-ya pitch smack dab over the plate. One that lets the batter know that this "peanut of a girl" means business. Fueled by her passion for the game and buoyed by the inspiration of Jackie Robinson, Mamie Johnson is determined to be a professional baseball pitcher. From the time she insists on trying out for the all-male all-white Police Athletic League team until she becomes one of only three women to play in the Negro Leagues, this biography of Mamie Johnson's life shows that courage-and a fierce curveball-can make a childhood dream come true. Illustrated with nineteen black-and-white photographs.
First line
Mama never mentioned it, but I'm sure I musta been born with a baseball in my hand, its smooth white skin curving into my tiny brown palm.
