James Johnson (baseball owner)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James M. Johnston (died 1967) was the co-owner of the Washington Senators of the American League with James Lemon from 1963 through 1967. In 1963, Johnson and Lemon purchased the franchise from Elwood Richard Quesada. His estate and James Lemon sold the team to a group of Minnesota buyers in 1967.[1]
Johnston, who attended UNC Chapel Hill from 1913 to 1915, posthumously set up one of the university's largest need-based scholarship funds, now known as the James M. Johnston Trust for Charitable and Educational Purposes.[2]
