Negro Leagues Baseball Player. Born in Remington, Virginia, he was nicknamed "Boojum" because that was the noise his line drives made when they hit the outfield walls. After serving in US Army during World War I, he joined the Baltimore Black Sox as an infielder in 1922. For 24 seasons, he played for the Baltimore Black Sox (1922-30), Homestead Greys (1931, 1940-45), Pittsburgh Crawfords in 1932 and Philadelphia Stars (1933-39). He was one of the Negro leagues' most powerful hitters ranking in the top five with a .351 lifetime batting average. He died at age 69 in Washington D.C. and was posthumously elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.
