Choo Choo Justice: World War II Navy Phenom, Part II
Posted Jun 17, 2020
So, how come the nickname Choo Choo? At one game a naval officer watching Charlie Justice reportedly said, “that Justice kid runs just like a choo-choo train.” Sportswriters immediately pounced on the nickname and it stuck. At North Carolina, he received mail addressed to “Number 22, Chapel Hill NC,” or “Choo Choo, NC,” and had a street named Justice.
