I know this differs from the videos usually posted here, but I think it is still worth watching and you will see why.

For those who don't know there was a MLB game last night between San Francisco and St. Louis at a historic Negro League ballpark in Alabama. The game obviously took on a greater significance with the passing of Willie Mays.

Here Reggie Jackson is talking about his horrific experience, playing minor league baseball in Alabama, and how he might not have made it if the team owner, his manager, and his teammates did not provide him with a supportive environment.


This is another clip word for watching. This is a sports talk, show host named, Rich Eisen talking about how important it was for Reggie to tell his story. And how schools in some parts of the country are banning these types of conversations.
