Andrew Johnson Jr. keeps things neat and green as head of the grounds department at the University of Dallas, but when he was the age of most students who play on the UD ball fields now, he tore up a few sandlots himself.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Johnson had two jobs and children to support, but he still managed to play baseball many nights and weekends for the Dallas Brown Bombers.He and his team members would take vacation at the same time so they could tour around Texas and play in tournaments.
