Josh Gibson, Baseball player sculpture at Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.
The eight-foot-tall white bronze statue depicts Josh Gibson in batting position on a sturdy granite base at Center Field Plaza.
Created in 2009 by sculptor Omri Amrany, this monument pays tribute to Josh Gibson, who dominated the Negro Leagues as a catcher.
The statue stands alongside Walter Johnson and Frank Howard sculptures, forming a collection of baseball figures who shaped the sport.

During the creation process, the sculptor collaborated with Sean Gibson, the player's great-grandson, to ensure accurate representation.
