Johnson got baseball bug in 1953 after buying Yankee Stadium. (Later he sold the land under it to the Knights of Columbus for $2.5 million, leased it back over a 28-year period for $4.8 million, subleased it to the Yankees for $11.5 million.) As part of the real-estate deal he acquired the Kansas City stadium which housed a farm club of the Yankees. While looking over his new property Johnson was urged by Kansas City Star Sports Editor Ernie Mehl to gel a major league franchise and move it to Kansas City. "Sounded good to me," said Johnson, and with this happy thought he moved major league ball to a new western frontier, purchased the moribund Philadelphia Athletics from Connie Mack and family for $3½ million.

Last season Georgia won 9, lost 1, and defeated Missouri in the Orange Bowl.
