The Community Cup Classic Foundation, Josh Gibson Foundation, Lifeline Sports and The PARTNERSHIP proudly present another year of events.
This presentation highlights the life of Negro Leagues slugger Josh Gibson, who has been called the greatest baseball player of his day. Gibson, who led the National Negro League in home runs for 10 consecutive years, played for the Pittsburgh Crawfords and the Homestead Grays from 1927 to 1946, which were racially segregated years in sports and American life.
A short trailer of the hour-long documentary, The Legend Behind the Plate: The Josh Gibson Story, will be shown. The documentary is narrated by Pittsburgh broadcasting legend and DU alumnus Bill Hillgrove and created in cooperation with the Josh Gibson Foundation.
