Frank Gatski 
      American football player (b. March 18, 1919, Farmington, W.Va.—d. Nov. 22, 2005, Morgantown, W.Va.), blocked for quarterback Otto Graham and running back Marion Motley while playing (1946–56) for the Cleveland Browns professional football team. Nicknamed Gunner for his explosive blocking, Gatski was the centre on the offensive lines that pushed the Browns to four All-America Football Conference titles (1946–49) and, after the Browns joined the National Football League, helped the team reach the championship game six consecutive times (1950–55), with three wins. He was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
