"Connie (Johnson) was a good pitcher in the major leagues. He was a great pitcher in the Negro Leagues. No comparison. He threw hard for the Monarchs. Hard. He had good control. Could have won twenty games in the big leagues. Oh yeah. Could have won twenty games every year. That's Connie Johnson." - Former Major Leaguer Buck O'Neil in the Lexington Herald-Leader (Joe Posnanski, 12/01/2004)
