Walter Fenner Leonard Induction Information Elected to Hall of Fame by Negro Leagues Committee in 1972, Negro Leaguer Born: September 8, 1907, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina Died: November 27, 1997, in Rocky Mount, North Carolina Primary Position: First Baseman Bats: L Throws: L Played For: Brooklyn Royal Giants (1933), Homestead Grays (1934-1950) Primary Team: Homestead Grays Bio Smooth-fielding, sweet-swinging first baseman Walter "Buck" Leonard was the backbone of the Homestead Grays' dynasty of the late 1930s and 1940s. Even-tempered, modest and loyal, the left-handed hitting Leonard was a model of consistency and one of the best pure hitters to play in the Negro leagues. He played in a record 11 East-West All-Star games, and his remarkable 17-year tenure with the Grays is the longest term of service with one team in Negro leagues history. Quote Judy Johnson Died: June 15, 1989, in Wilmington, Delaware Primary Position: Third Baseman Bats: R Throws: R Played For: Bacharach Giants (1918), Madison Stars (1919-1921), Hilldale Daisies (1921-1929, 1931-1932), Homestead Grays (1930, 1937), Pittsburgh Crawfords (1932-1936) Primary Team: Hilldale Daisies Bio 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. Quote "Johnson was the best hitter among the four top third basemen in the Negro Leagues, but no one would drive in as many clutch runs as he would. He was a solid ballplayer, real smart, but he was the kind of fellow who could 'just get it done.' He was dependable, quiet, not flashy at all, but could handle anything that came up. No matter how much the pressure, no matter how important the play or the throw or the hit, Judy could do it when it counted." -- Cool papa Bell Did You Know... that as a major league scout, Judy Johnson helped to sign future big league stars Dick Allen and Bill Bruton, Bruton later becoming Johnson's son-in-law?
