NLBGMP at work

From left, Dwayne Isgrig, Jeremy Krock, and Larry Lester carry and place the headstone of Big Bill Gatewood, who won 117 games for more than a dozen teams in the Negro Leagues from 1906 to 1928. Gatewood was buried in an unmarked grave for almost 50 years until his grave was discovered and a marker was purchased by the NLBGMP.
