A Homestead Grays Cap

Josh Gibson: The Greatest Baseball Player Ever
or
What does that G on
your hat
stand for?



- Exhibit at the Pace University Library -


I often see people wearing Homestead Grays hats and when I ask if they know what the G stands for or say to them, "Hey, nice Homestead Grays hat," I am inevitably met with a puzzling look. I've recently stopped this futile exercise and created an informative exhibit including materials that provide insight into the life of Josh Gibson, the Homestead Grays best player and the greatest hitter in the history of baseball.
