Sean Gibson Appearance
The Somerset Patriots, the New York Yankees Double-A affiliate, have announced that Sean Gibson, the great grandson of Baseball Hall of Fame legend Josh Gibson, will be a special guest for the team’s tribute to the New York Black Yankees on Saturday, August 1 at TD Bank Ballpark.

Gibson will be in attendance to participate in a pre-game moderated Q&A, throw out a ceremonial first pitch and meet fans on the main concourse during the game.  He will also have a vast display of Negro League memorabilia to discuss with fans wanting to learn more.

Sean Gibson is the Executive Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation established in 1994 in an effort to keep the memory of the beloved baseball player and the Negro Leagues alive.

The Josh Gibson Foundation has a traveling exhibit that will be at TD Bank Ballpark at the game to help honor Gibson’s legacy and educate fans about the history of the Negro Leagues.
