HOMESTEAD — Sen. Costa joined local mayors, Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Josh Gibson Foundation to unveil 18 new bridge signs honoring the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawford Negro League baseball teams.
The signs are mounted at various locations on the Homestead Grays Bridge and highlight seven players from each team.
“Some of the greatest players in the history of the game played for the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords,” Costa said.
“This is a fitting tribute to what these great men accomplished on the baseball diamond and what they still mean to the communities in this area.”
