This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Josh Gibson Travel Bug is a Geocaching Logo Travel Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

This travel bug is in honor of Josh Gibson, known as the greatest power hitter in the Negro Leagues.  He was known as the "Black Babe Ruth," and was thought to have hit over 800 home runs in his career, although many of these home runs were most likely hit in unofficial games against local league competition including "barnstorming" competitions.  While records vary, his official Negro Leagues stats are 238 home runs with a .359 batting average.  He primarily played with the Homestead Grays in Pittsburgh.  He was a 12 time All-Star and 2 time Negro Leagues World Series champion.  He unfortunately died at the age of 35 of a stroke, 4 years after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.  Recently there has been talk of renaming the MLB MVP award in honor of his name.
