    Trying to Reverse the Decline of Black Players in Major League Baseball

    Trying to Reverse the Decline of Black Players in Major League Baseball
    Baseball was once known for breaking racial barriers in the U.S. But now, Black representation in the major leagues is at its lowest level in decades.

    This year, MLB did something to try and change that, by staging the first annual HBCU Swingman Classic. It's an opportunity for players from historically Black colleges and universities to play in front of scouts and executives on a national stage.

    NPR's Juana Summers reports from Seattle on MLB's efforts to reverse the decline and recruit Black American players.

    In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

    688: A-Rod | Still Having a Ball After All

    688: A-Rod | Still Having a Ball After All

    A-Rod (aka Alex Rodriguez) (@AROD) is a 3x MVP, 14-time All-Star, and World Series champion. As of 2016, he was the highest-paid player in major league baseball history. After 23 years in the game, he's an investor and business mentor preaching the gospel of financial literacy for all.

    What We Discuss with A-Rod:

    • The concept of VCP: vision, capital, and people.
    • What Alex has learned about business from mentors like Warren Buffett and Magic Johnson, and what he hopes to pass on to his own mentees.
    • How growing up as a poor kid in Miami informs the way Alex treats people today.
    • The need for financial literacy to become part of the American education system's core curriculum.
    • The "Breakfast Club" that keeps Alex's relationship with his daughters real.
    • And much more...

    Ep. 967 - Stand And Salute The Pride Flag You Bigots

    Ep. 967 - Stand And Salute The Pride Flag You Bigots

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, it’s not enough to tolerate, accept, or even celebrate. The LGBT Left demands that you participate, which is why some Major League Baseball players are getting backlash for not wearing an LGBT pride flag on their uniforms. We’ll discuss. Also, a lawmaker in California now says he wants drag to be a mandatory curriculum requirement for children in school. These groomer freaks are officially out of control. And a Hollywood actor gives a speech about guns during the White House press briefing for some reason. Plus, the leftist DA of San Francisco is recalled for turning his city into a crime plagued wasteland. But will liberal voters actually learn their lesson? I doubt it. We’ll talk about all of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

    A Three Point Plan To Defeat The Liberal Spin Machine (Ep 1493)

    A Three Point Plan To Defeat The Liberal Spin Machine (Ep 1493)
    Tactics matter. In this episode, I discuss a three-point plan to take the fight to the liberal spin machine on the election law changes. I also address the video of the Biden White House desperately trying to backtrack from a controversy they started.  News Picks: Marco Rubio slams the hypocritical MLB commissioner asking him if he plans to keep his membership at a Georgia club.  The hypocritical MLB picks Denver for the All-Star Game. 72% of Americans favor requiring photo ID to vote. Terror watch list suspects were caught at the Southern Border.  Is China minting the digital currency of the future?  Border towns cannot keep up with the influx of illegal immigrants into the country.

    MLB Strikes Out And Ron DeSantis Hits a Homerun (Ep 1492)

    MLB Strikes Out And Ron DeSantis Hits a Homerun (Ep 1492)
    Every American needs to hear this message from a prominent sports star about the race baiting going on in the country. In this episode, I discuss the explosive video and I shred liberal misinformation about the Georgia voting law. I also address the latest media attack on a prominent GOP Governor.  News Picks: Watch: Pastor orders police to get out of his house of worship.  Major League Baseball boycotts Georgia a day after expanding a deal with communist China.  Trump saw a historic jump in his share of the Hispanic vote in 2020. The majority of families illegally entering the United States are not being deported. 60 Minutes tries to attack Ron DeSantis and fails in epic fashion. It’s important that we treat the media as the Democrat activists they are.  Copyright Bongino Inc All Rights Reserved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
