In what state was The Great One, Hall of Famer Josh Gibson, born?

You may recall that #MLB finally ruled, in 2020, that the stats of great Black Leagues players and teams --like Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Monarchs -- were in fact major-league stats.
Which means that the last man to hit over .400 in the big leagues was not Ted Williams in 1941 ... but Artie Wilson in 1948.

This was the third game in a best-of-seven series between #1947League All-Stars (using #APBA-compatible cards I created to create a fully integrated '47 MLB league) and all-stars selected from the official 1966 APBA card set.

BROWNS TOP PIRATES, 1-0, EVEN SERIES
Dan Bankhead (10 Ks) secured the win in a memorable pitchers' duel with Pittsburgh's Barney Brown (12 Ks). Jeff Heath's second-inning HR provided the only score of the game.
