  Just Like Josh Gibson by Angela Johnson is an inspiring story about a young girl growing up in the 1940's aspiring to play baseball like her hero, Josh Gibson. The dream began from birth, when her papa showed up at the hospital with a Louisville slugger, and culminated with her having the opportunity to play in one game with the boys. And, Grandmama is sharing her story with her granddaughter.
