George Shively

George "Rabbit" Shively (January 3, 1893 – June 7, 1962) was an American baseball left fielder in the Negro leagues.

[5] He was asked to leave the Indianapolis ABCs to Captain the "Lyon's Black Devils" baseball team of Kokomo, Indiana for part of the 1919 season,[3] then later that year left for the East Coast where he appears to have played the rest of his career.

Shively died in 1962 and was buried in an unmarked grave in Bloomington, Indiana.

A limestone monument was dedicated on his gravesite in the Rosehill Cemetery on April 4, 2015, in a community ceremony memorializing Shively and 10 other African Americans also buried in unmarked graves.
