A Strong Right Arm: The Story of Mamie "Peanut" Johnson Tapa dura - 2002

de Michelle Y. Green; Introduction by Mamie Johnson


Resumen

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.

Primera línea

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.

New York: Dial Books for Young Readers, 2002. Fine condition in bright, shiny Fine Dust Jacket. No chips. No tears. No creases. No fading. No owner's name or bookplate. Not a book club edition. No remainder marks. Clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Biography of a female baseball pitcher who successfully competed against the men in the Negro Leagues. Well illustrated with vintage photos. From the Dust Jacket: "Fuel 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 Team until she becomes one of only three women to play in the Negro Leagues, Mamie Johnson's life shows that courage -- and a fierce curveball -- can make a childhood dream come true."
