Joel is joined by a prolific storyteller who has been preserving the rich legacy of black baseball for 30 years and counting. His name is Bob Kendrick, the incomparable - and impeccably dressed - president of the Negro Leagues baseball Museum.

Paying homage to legends of a bygone era, and their groundbreaking role shaping the game we know today.Website: https://www.nlbm.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nlbmprez/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Bob-Kendrick-100049995194054/Check out Joel's new book: https://www.joelgoldbergmedia.com/store/p/small-ball-big-dreams-autographed
