Since 2004, the Negro Leagues Grave Marker Project has been tracking down the final resting places of long forgotten players and honoring their memories by installing headstones. The Project, founded by Dr. Jeremy Krock, has raised almost $10,000. So far they have placed markers on the gravesites of 18 players, such as Jimmie Crutchfield, Big Bill Gatewood, and “Steel Arm” Taylor.

I’ve been fortunate to donate my time and effort to such a worthy cause. And when Dr. Krock informed us that ESPN would profile the project on Outside The Lines I was ecstatic. To watch the piece or read the article please visit ESPN Outside The Lines.
