Mamie Peanut Johnson had one dream: to play professional baseball.
But mo.
During the three years she pitched for the Clowns, her record was an impressive 33-8.
However, a greater opportunity came her way in 1953 when Johnson signed to play ball for the Negro Leagues\' Indianapolis Clowns, becoming the first female pitcher to play on a men\'s professional team.
She was a talented player, but she wasn\'t welcome in the segregated All-American Girls Pro Baseball League due to the color of her skin.
