Honus Wagner Gravesite
Recently discovered that a nice gentleman that I work for takes care of the burial plot of Honus Wagner. He is buried just outside of Pittsburgh. His name is Dr. P and he has some family at rest nearby and also does the upkeep for the Wagner site. Anyway, I found it a neat story and wanted to share with the Net54 community.

Awesome. Do you know the address? Not to be creepy, but I go through Pittsburgh every now and then and I would very much like to visit this.
Thanks

As morbid as it sounds, visiting Cobb's crypt has always been on my bucket list.
I'd like to see where he grew up, but my understanding is most of the buildings with any attachment to him are long gone...

My great grandfather is literally buried about 20 feet from former T206 player Frank Arellanes in San Jose, California.

That is cool. There are still kind people in the world. Thanks for posting this.

Many photos on Deadballera website. I live about 2 miles from Carrigan's grave and visit every year.

Leon, 100% serious. Found it completely by accident. Pittsburgh is not too big; just the right size. So you can find a lot of historic things here completely by accident. Also recently found out that a softball field I play at 1-2x a week in the black softball league I play in was home to the Homestead Grays in the 30's and 40's... https://gochathamcougars.com/sports/...d.aspx?path=bs
