About Johnny Wright (baseball)
- John Richard Wright (November 28, 1916, New Orleans, Louisiana - May 4, 1990, Jackson, Mississippi) was a Negro League pitcher who played briefly in the International League of baseball's minor leagues in 1946, and was on the roster of the Montreal Royals at the same time as Jackie Robinson, making him a plausible candidate to have broken the baseball color barrier.
- Instead, Wright was demoted from Montreal and returned the next season to the Negro Leagues.
