The Negro Leagues Past, Present, and Future and its Continued Impact on the Socio-Economic Landscape of America with Bob Kendrick

Season 2, Ep. 4

‘America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.’


James Earl Jones speech during Field of Dreams summarized things perfectly.


In honor of black history month, I am thrilled to be joined by the President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum: Mr. Bob Kendrick.


Where we discuss the role the Negro Leagues had, and continue to have, in shaping the socio-economic landscape of America.


Stay connected with Bob & the museum at:
