“I want to see young people in America feel the spirit of the 1960s and find a way to get in the way. To find a way to get in trouble. Good trouble, necessary trouble.”

‼️ It’s time for to step up to the plate and today we’re launching a campaign to ask the league to take a stronger stance against racism and to do more to support Black communities and the growth of baseball in those communities.
-
If you’re like us, MLB’s delayed response to the current racial issues this country is facing was disappointing. It said little, did not take a firm stance and took no ACTION. As baseball fans, we want to see more.
-
Please head to the link in our bio to sign the petition and see our attached letter to the league with requests for action. (You can also view the letter on the petition page.)
-
Once you’ve done that, please spread the word!
