I have always wondered why Gibson's hat has an "H" on it while all of the others' have a "P." Gibson will not play for the Homestead Grays for another two years, so I do not think that it is. Any other ideas?

Really a great photo! Thanks for sharing. Love it. How big is it? I bet it is really clear in person. I would also like to know about the hat.
