As a proud 41 year old black man who grew up rooting for Griffey, Kirby Puckett, Frank Thomas, Dave Winfield, Gary Sheffield, Tony Gwynn, Darryl Strawberry and in my hometown.. Eddie Murray and Mike Devereaux… this brings a smile to my face seeing the RBI program pay off … baseball is my first love … and seeing these young African Americans playing this beautiful game brings me joy … i wish more young black kids played baseball instead of predominantly playing football and basketball 💯💯💯💯 my son will be a baseball player

I am not a baseball fan but I will become a fan of these kids... Young man said he wants to be a legend.

Being Dominican and growing up huge fan of Barry Sanders Bo Jackson And so many Black American Hero's, I would appreciate the black athletes show their skills on a Diamond as they did in the 90's.

Baseball is a great game. Less dangerous than football, strategic thinking and playing, and it pays more than football.

As a Black American man, this warms my heart, the MLB definitely won me over. Because the Black American male is the most unapologetically American of anyone in the USA. The country was built on our back.
