The Zanesville Mark Grays were a independent professional football team that existed from 1916 to 1922. They participated in the inaugural regular season of the National Football League which was called the American Professional Football Association in 1920 by playing the Columbus Panhandles twice. The Mark Grays never joined the APFA. The team played home games in Zanesville, Ohio at Mark Athletic Field. The Mark Greys' history has mostly been lost in time but the team was believed to go 3-1-2 in 1920 only losing to the Columbus Panhandles.
Pro Football Historian (PFH) is a blog page written by Flint Given. Pro Football Historian or PFH is a page to inform people on prior NFL events that people might not know about. Learning about teams from the 1920s or even the first few NFL World Championships in the 1930s fascinates me. It's these kinds of events that I want to discuss in this blog. Hopefully you are interested and will continue to check up on my blogs.
I am a descendent of one of the players on the 1919-1921 Mark Greys and I possess a scrapbook of Zanesville newspaper articles chronicling the team. Do you have any recommendations on where I should submit the information in the book and who might ultimately like to own this artifact permanently?
