Reggie Jackson | Are We Any Closer to Diversity in Baseball?
Hall of Famer - and son of a Negro Leagues infielder - Reggie Jackson joins Bob Kendrick for a candid, in-depth conversation about race and baseball, and the question of whether we're truly any closer to diversity in the game than we were when Reggie retired. Hear Reggie's commentary on the lack of Black managers and executives in the game today, and how we need more than just one Dana Brown running player personnel before we can start celebrating. Hear Reggie's reaction to Glen Kuiper's racial slur and subsequent apology, and why he's having a much harder time forgiving than Bob is. And hear Reggie's wealth of stories, from growing up amidst our nation's civil unrest, and his father passing on the wisdom of the Negro Leaguers, to his conversations with Jim Brown, and a home run that nearly left Kansas City entirely.
