Seems telling that MLB is this concerned about a potential grievance … https://t.co/Y9eQtu87iq — Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) June 15, 2020

When a league’s commissioner says a season will 100% take place – only to reverse course and say he’s “not confident” anymore after just five days, that undercuts the credibility of the league and its top decision makers. https://t.co/fVInmFkL0e — Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) June 15, 2020

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

​

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
