At a later date, bronze plaque was placed at the northeast corner of the field, which reads: FREEDOM FIELD November 24, 1949 Dedicated to the development of that spirit of fair play which is essential to the preservation of real freedom. Because the life of Albert C. Gottsche so truly portrayed the spirit of fair play. And because Arthur Hunt, Mark Seymour, and Eugene White made the supreme sacrifice in World War II that freedom might be preserved. Their names are inscribed hereon to serve as an inspiration to our future citizens. With special appreciation to W.H. “Cal” Calhoun. – Source: Freedom Field: The Ocean Springs Greyhounds 1949 – 1952, Ray L. Bellande, Ocean Springs Archives, 2010.
