AJR 187 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates July 24 of each year as "Josh Gibson Negro Leagues Appreciation Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 187 designates July 24 of each year as "Josh Gibson Negro Leagues Appreciation Day" in New Jersey to honor baseball legend Josh Gibson and the Negro Leagues. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through programs and activities. It recognizes Gibson's career achievements, including his recent integration into MLB records as the all-time leader in batting average and slugging percentage, and commemorates his 1936 home run at Belmar, New Jersey. The bill has no binding effect beyond the symbolic recognition and annual observance.
