	Wilson, Jud 'Boojum' - Negro League Baseball Player
		Wilson was feared as a hitter and was known for his willingness to fight, any time, anywhere.
		Jud got his nickname "Boojum" because that was the noise his line drives made when they hit the outfield walls.
		In the photo at the right, Jud Wilson is in his Baltimore Black Sox uniform in 1923, the first year of the Eastern Colored League.

	Jud Wilson \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Wilson was an intense, no-holds-barred dynamo on Negro League baseball fields, intimidating opposing pitchers and umpires with his potent bat and powerful fists.
		Wilson was briefly a Homestead Gray before he and most of his teammates jumped to the Pittsburgh Crawfords in 1932.
		While this tactic was somewhat successful (Wilson hit a league-high.412 in leading the club to the 1934 pennant), it did not prevent the pugnacious slugger from punching an umpire in the 1934 playoffs.

		Wilson was very similar to Major League star Tony Gwynn, who rarely struck out, and always seemed to hit the ball hard, regardless of the pitcher he faced.
		Wilson was a third baseman for most of his career, and was known to play the position like a goalie; he'd get in front of everything, let it hit off his chest, then throw the runner out.
		Wilson became a manager later in his career and was as hard-driving as a skipper as he was as a player.

	Ernest Judson Wilson, Corporal, States Army Army
		Wilson, a former star third baseman for the Homestead Grays and a longtime D.C. resident who died in 1963, was one of 17 former Negro leagues players and executives who were inducted into the Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony Sunday in a grassy field just outside the village.
		The 17 former Negro leaguers were chosen via a special selection process this spring after a study by a dozen historians, and their induction brings the total number of Hall of Fame inductees to 278.
		A squat, lefty hitter who could play anywhere in the infield, Wilson was known for his potent bat as a line drive hitter to every corner of the ballpark.

		Wilson was a star in the Negro Leagues during the mid-1940s, just as Stephens was a star in the (white) Major Leagues.
		Wilson's decline years would not show up in either the major league statistics or in the Negro League listings; they would be, for all practical purposes, invisible.

	BBTF's Hall of Merit Discussion :: Jud Wilson
		Wilson's fielding at third was regarded as rough but not bad, kind of scrappy; he hit lefthanded with lots of doubles and good (but not great) home run power; not fast, but could steal when he needed to.
		Wilson was a short squat man, 5 foot 8 inches tall and 195 pounds in his prime.
		Wilson was the second best Negro League 3B at his peak after Beckwith (and not that far behind) and undisputably the greatest Negro League 3B in terms of career value.

	The Baseball Guru - THREE MORE FOR VALHALLA By John B Holway
		JUD WILSON was nicknamed “Boojum” for the sound of his line drives rattling off the fences.
		Jud batted.343 lifetime and hit over.400 six times in the States and Cuba (fl players just changed uniforms and kept playing both winter and summer).
		If Griff had signed Josh, Buck, Cool Papa, Jud, and Ray, he just might have built a dynasty to challenge the Yanks; Griffith, not Rickey, might be hailed as baseball’s Abe Lincoln, and the Senators might never have left town for 35 years.

		Jud Wilson's signature is exceedingly rare, with fewer than ten examples of any kind (possibly as few as five) currently known to exist.

		In the old Negro Leagues, they called Jud Wilson “Boojum” for the sound his hits made rattling off the fences.
		With his broad shoulders, spindly legs, and gruff voice, he seemed more like a professional rassler than one of the best hitters in baseball history, but his lifetime.366 batting average was the highest of any man in the fl leagues and just one point shy of Ty Cobb’s.367, which led the white leagues.
		Jud loved to hit and fight, and his run-ins with umpires are as famous as his batting exploits.
