Remembering an Indianapolis baseball legend

• She was the first woman to pitch in the Negro Leagues and one of only three women to make it.
• She had tried to compete in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, but she was denied entry because of her race.
• She had a 33-8 record as a pitcher.

Flashback: Ten years ago this month, Washington, D.C., dedicated a baseball field to Johnson.

• There's also a mural honoring her on U Street in D.C.
• Johnson died in 2017 at 82.

The bottom line: Johnson is one of the most trailblazing athletes to come through Indianapolis, which makes you wonder why it's hard to find traces of her legacy here.
