As a proud 41 year old black man who grew up rooting for Griffey , Kirby Puckett, Frank Thomas , Dave Winfield, Gary Sheffield, Tony Gwynn, Darryl Strawberry and in my hometown.. Eddie Murray and Mike Devereaux… this brings a smile to my face seeing the RBI program pay off … baseball is my first love … and seeing these young African Americans playing this beautiful game brings me joy … i wish more young black kids played baseball instead of predominantly playing football and basketball 💯💯💯💯 my son will be a baseball player
🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Yea same here our people used to be more involved in baseball back than compared to now
Agree my brotha
Baseball will be better for it. Good luck to these young men!
Think cause black kids are focusing more on one sport. Which is usually football or basketball. Baseball use to be a summer thing now every kid is doing 7 on 7 and aau travel basketball which leaves no room for summer baseball.
I am not a baseball fan but I will become a fan of these kids... Young man said he wants to be a legend.
I am right behind you

Being Dominican and growing up huge fan of Barry Sanders Bo Jackson And so many Black American Hero's, I would appreciate the black athletes show their skills on a Diamond as they did in the 90's.
Most of them play football and basketball now but everything has a cycle. The return is here
They look Dominican 😂
@@reggiemiller6274 What's 😂 about that?
How's that funny? My special friend who probably loves at Passing Gas.
Very proud of our African Roots, And Absolutely Would've loved for them to be Our Fellow Dominicans As Most are.
@@reggiemiller6274 Dominican is not a race, it’s a nationality
Most Dominicans are Africans and has the same ancestral origins as Black Americans
Baseball gettin' some soul back into the game!

Baseball is a great game. Less dangerous than football, strategic thinking and playing, and it pays more than football.
Thank you for watching
Don't know anything about baseball but I might get into it and follow these kids' journey
Thanks for watching!
I completely agree with you!
Will be watching!!
@@ronnieburton2832 Great teamwork by everyone involved. This will definitely get more people interested in the journey of these young men and baseball. Who worked on the video game scene where the players had to make a decision on which path to choose? That was pretty cool to see. Do you think you could connect me with them if they're okay with it? I would love to learn from them about the process of developing that game and its features. Thanks. Hope you have a fantastic day and weekend.
This is what the game needs!
Black people?
@@zfouleur2904 ….more involvement from the younger generation…..
@@zfouleur2904t needs more American players. The majority of American talent isn’t playing what was considered America’s favorite past time that gap has been filled with non-English speaking baseball prospects. We need more Mike Trout and Bryce Harper caliber players.
@@zfouleur2904 yes
🔥🔥 finally getting back into the game that our ancestors help build
My son m coming 👌🏾. He will be the wave after next 💪🏾
I’m Cuban and I like to hear this we need more brothers in the league my favorite mlb players are Jackie Robinson Gary Sheff Barry bonds
They forgot Andrew jones son too he has was the top prospect in the country imo out of Atlanta too! Let’s go guys! Black and gifted!!!❤
Who fucking cares if he’s black or not
Sons love baseball 11 and 8…. My 11 when he got his new bat… was sleeping with it… from that day forwarded my times invested in his baseball future was a easy call
The production team killed this.
Absolutely love this - can't wait to see these young black men turn into the stars my kids root for!

Awesome video. I love baseball. I'm glad the youth still appreciate such a beautiful game. Can't wait to see all these young men change the game. It needs it

Beautifully produced documentary. Makes one excited for the future of MLB.
In the south...most black kids in the 80s and 90s grew up playing baseball as their dominant sport....but when traveling baseball and the little league world series became more popular...baseball got really expensive to play...which forced most blacks kids to stick with basketball and football. So, the lack of black baseball players isn't a coincidence. This is great to see tho...it could have the Tiger Woods effect if the hype is real.
This situation happened to me in 1993, travel baseball cost $50 registration fee + weekly travel cost(food & hotel). AAU summer league basketball was funded by 2 local businesses(barber shop & bbq spot),they covered tournament entry fees and provided Tshirts. All travel expenses were paid through fund raisers, mainly car washes, cars washed by the players. Baseball was my 1st love, but the cost killed it for me.
I so love to see these kids do well and bring greatness to MLB
So Good! Can't wait for Pt2
Shout to all the MLB Urban Youth Academies and R.B.I baseball teams in the inner cities.
As a Black American man, this warms my heart, the MLB definitely won me over. Because the Black American male is the most unapologetically American of anyone in the USA. The country was built on our back.
This is dope mlb needs more stuff like this

looking foward to watching these gents something seems to be cooking in the MLB lately.

This is beautiful! Congratulations and big dreams and great things for all the kids!love to see them in the big leagues! 🇨🇺💖🇺🇲⚾️
2022 draft could give the wrong idea as a lot of them were legacies as opposed to players from none advantaged backgrounds. Baseball is an expensive sport and not as invested in with African American communities.
This was really cool. Love seeing all these boys from the ATL…..Thanks for posting. 💪🏻✝️

Great series! Love the background music too 🔥

Great documentary!!! ✊🏾⚾
Pirates got a great 2b in Termarr Johnson
O'Neill Cruz and Termarr Johnson. That is going to be a lethal combo for the Pirates!
Baseball has no racial barriers now a days. If u like the sport play it
It's about time, No, ITS TIME !
As in African American we have to be very specific! FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS! ☝🏽Not immigrants..
Only way the rating will go back up!
This is dope!
A off field career is much more important then being there playing because its not about you once you are off the field its about the people around you thT you have to take care of
Big baseball fan love to see it !
Atlanta Westside product
We need this as a community, because the Drill scene is making a generation of demons, we need positive young role models in this generation that makes it look cool to do the right thing.
out of all these guys in the 2022 draft i think the orioles made the right choise but all thsoe guys are gonna be great cant really go wrong
i glad to know this 1 from the DR🤗🤗
The kid in blue hat got that look in his eyes he going to the league
All them will be in the league Rj Austin at Vanderbilt Termarr Johnson is with Pittsburgh Pirates minor league 1st round #3 pick

@@TheFilmSpace1 oh ok cool what about the other kid?
In this Liberal Anti Black male, Anti Black nuclear family, it feels so good to see these well rounded kids and there supportive Black parents!
Bout time we had more black kids in baseball
Thanks for watching!
Atlanta always gon show out
Vamos ⚾️ 👏
Only thing I don't like is the cost. I like seeing all of the new young black players but imagine all that are missing out because they can't afford to go places or can't get into private schools.
The pillars of our community has always been religion, dance, fashion! This statement is very true. The under represented example would be science, literature and arts!
Nah the new face is Julio Rodriguez
baseball is back😎😎
I wish’s I played more baseball
Baseball is better investment for male student athletes.
Kimari Chisolm is up next !!
24:01 He’s safe
I been watching college baseball for over 20 years. Filled with black ball players. I always wondered why they couldn’t make that leap into the show. Then I realized the Latin players are taking there place. They just make better ball players.
23:32 what happening there
I dont care about if they are black, white, Asian or Hispanic... I care if they are a good player. Only the media looks at color.
🔥🔥🔥
How come they didn't show Druw Jones? He's black too and went 2nd overall
I have a signed T.Johnson ball! Worth anything or hang on to it
Def hang onto it!
great video glad to see african americans coming back to the game . we need them . baseball is growing
They need to start promoting him now?
If you black you’re black whether you’re mixed, Afro Latino, African American so we can’t deny under 25 MLB is extremely Dominated by Blacks
It needs more Foundational Black Americans..
No it doesn’t the games better without them

The game is better with Foundational Black Americans!

What the hell is the MiLB
Minors league
“FREE THUG, RICO AINT REAL!”
Too bad it will take 3-5 years before we see them. Thats why MLB should put every local minor league game on free tv.
Well, MLB farm will have to compete with NIL. College is a no brainer, unless the MLB will retliate for going to college.
5:51 L friends. 👎🏾
This is fire 🔥. Salute to our productive young brothas following their dreams. 🫡
I call complete bs this makes no sense
Why aren't they using 40 yard dashes? Comparing these guys to other sports like the NFL will help grow the game
No need. Scouts time how fast you can get outa the batters box and make it down first base line
@@mannyquintana8074 That's irrelevant to what I said. It would be cool to compare these athletes to other sports especially football where the combine is extremely publicized
@@braves5696 no it wouldn’t be cool IMO. You gotta hit the ball and get outa the box before you start running. Not wait for a ball to be snapped or a whistle to blow
@manny Quintana like a sac fly? It's about spreading the game dude. Seeing these guys compared to other top athletes will only help spread the game
Temar will be good but he lacks the size for big numbers offensively
Ya Idk if he will pop more than 30hr in a season but man his bat to ball skill is generational. If he can hit .325 with 25 hr 40db consistently, which I think he's capable of, you're looking at one the best offensive threats in the game. His line drive ability to the entire field is crazy. Who knows he could even have a couple years of 35-40hrs if he achieves his entire potential, kids a stud.
What numbers do you want out of the 4? If he is Altitude, Pedroia, Ariaz, or anywhere near that will be fine. I want a leadoff, contact, or a contact with pop hitting 2 in the hole out of him. And by pop I mean 20 HR + our of the 4. Which again, will be fine. I also watched him play in one of the few pro games he played in last year vs the Mighty Muscles. He almost took my favorite guy deep after falling behind. He showed a bit of grit that game. He got hurt in spring training. But I expect him to return to A ball for a full season unless he plays all world, they may move him to high A.
Like that giant of a man Jose Altuve???
@@wsmokr The cheater.... but still I'm taller and dude is mlb...and im typing at home..
@@blownapart100 hahaha.
American indeginois Mt African American. Truth is
Seems like they are reaching wanting to push these kids to be baseball players just to have more black players in the mlb. But in reality these kids nowadays arent into baseball like back in the day. Black latins are the ones dominating the big leagues right now. American ones become a bust after making it to the bigs, most not all.
Exactly
Nothing will change this garbage hobby
They tried to faze us out in the late 90s and replace us with dark skinned Dominicans and Cubans, because they felt they could replace our athleticism but subtract our flavor and activism. Gary Sheffield peeped game real quick. But it didn’t work because although they are dark skinned, they ain’t us! Now Major League Baseball want to get our viewership back.
Those Dark skinned Dominicans, they're from Haitian descent. And they are discriminated against enough in the domincan, and then now you here bashing them. Dude, Those dark skinned domincans are from AFRICAN slaves. Didn you know Haiti and Domincan are on the SAME ISLAND. You're confused. I know. Let me explain it. When the Spanish came to the island, just indigenous were there. They quickly died due to disease and murder and slavery. Then came the African slave trade. This Island was a stop to the Americas. Then came the war between the French and the Spanish. Then the hands of the Slaves changed hands when France won. Then another war came and the Island changed hands back to the Spanish. 1 side of the Island, Haiti. Creole. Voodoo. New Orleans path. French influence. Other side of the Island, Spanish Colonial . Dominicans HATE Haitians. Because of their Black skin from African descent, they are often discriminated against. There is a big ESPN article about how messed up it is. But your comment is just stupid. If you are Black, then you should know that their story is one of hardship and discrimination that is on a scale not ever AMerica is on right now and they have dark skin because they are descendants from Africa!... shouldn't go after them.. that's sad. Besides that being wrong with your statement, it's just not sensible.
They did not try,black players chose basketball and football over baseball.More like black athletes did not try to play baseball.
@wsmokr The issue is they're not even being given the chance. Baseball fields are drying up all over the country. Lot cheaper to make and maintain a basketball court. But you're right, more Black's choose basketball and football. And yeah, why wouldn't you? The money is better. The chance at going pro is better.
@@wsmokr that’s a lie. There are documented studies from the early 2000s of MLB deliberate neglect of inner city youth baseball facilities, teams and tournaments. Instead they invested in the darker Caribbean island and central and South American countries because of the political stances and equity rhetoric being propagated by Black American players.
You are white person thinking you can just write anything because you say so. You don’t know shjjt!
@@blownapart100 Let's hope it changes the sport is better with more black players also for society itself so we can all have one more thing in common and get together as a whole.
BRING da O.G black swag back to thee game these me no black blacks to dam lame,
I wish they kinda tried to gather all minorities instead of just one I mean thought y’all didn’t like shit being all about one race or segregation I thought y’all hated that now it’s cool apparently
You reaching bad.
People are at a point mentally where they have this knee-jerk uncontrollable reaction to ANY mention of any non-whites that's automatically "actually, you're being racist for not talking about whites" OR "you're being woke, and actually oppressing others/me,", and its honestly amazing. The fact you actually think you have a valid point or make sense at all is disturbing.
Reactionaries/contrarians WILL never NOT be embarassing.
Man the future looks very bright for players like him, Elijah Green, and Drew Jones Jr! I followed them through most of their prep careers and look forward to seeing their talents brought to fruition. That being said... Please Stop acting like somebody is blocking off a certain demographic from playing this game. Statistics have shown that the NFL is comprised of at least 70% African American. The number is even higher in the NBA being 80%. Nobody is saying that we need more white, Indian, or Asian players in those leagues are we? Has anyone considered the fact that basketball and football athletic scholarships are headcount scholarships which means they are scholarships paid in full? That would probably present a lot more opportunities for the ability to play the game at the next level then say college baseball that only allows for 11.7 scholarships at the D1 level. Most families are paying to play. Another inconvenient fact is that African American families are 2/3 of the time single parent homes. That brings a lot more difficulties than say a dual parent home that a lot of times offers multiple incomes at the same time. And finally because I know I'm going to get the "You're a racist" comment instead of actually dissecting objective facts. But before anyone goes on to say that systematic racism is so prevalent and that it opposes a certain demographic from all sides, know This statistic as well: as a whole on average Asian Americans and Indian Americans are wealthier than Caucasian Americans. The point being that if there is systematic racism than why are there whole groups that are shown to be more financially successful than "evil whitey?" So everybody on here that is virtue signaling why don't you do some critical thinking and see that nobody in 2023 is stopping any African American from playing baseball. Is it a country club sport, sure it's becoming that way It's definitely getting a lot more expensive. But as I said before there are other sports that African Americans are choosing their own selves, nobody is forcing them, they are actually choosing themselves to play and mind you are quite successful at it. Stop feeding into the narrative that media and politicians are trying to drive which is that everything is race centered. Read some books turn off CNN and MSNBC, think for yourself and dive into some actual facts. Look at Thomas sowell a brilliant man that most liberals will call an Uncle Tom but he is far from that and was once a very radical liberal himself until he started researching the facts and statistics for himself.
All that babbling for what 🤔 ….
@@rayshardsmith2546 well apparently it wasn't enough babbling to keep you from reading it in its entirety. That's the typical response that I see from people that have no reply to facts and truth. And it was probably a pretty tough pill to swallow too rayshard. Move along now, I'm sure there's someone else that you can play the victim card with
Man why you bringing this negativity to the video and bringing politics into it. Literally all the video was saying is these are some good black kids playing ball
Asians are NOT wealthier than white people: that's a lie. Look at Forbes's wealthiest Americans list and CEOs of American Companies very few are Asian. So stop lying.
You don't think much eh? Money. I agree. But it's not that money. It' s the money that goes into Black communities to give them baseball fields, or basketball fields. No, they aren't giving any money to maintain baseball fields when they can slap some concrete down, put up some hoops. Tie 1 net per year. Or make a chain net that lasts for a few. What's a kid need to play basketball? A basketball. What do you need to play baseball? Ceramic/graphite/composite bat, toe guard, elbow guard, shin guard, wrist guard, batting gloves, glove, cleats, cage time, trackman time, field time, league dues, traveling dues. It's that Blacks and Black communities are priced out of the sport and that's bullshit. Yeah we do need more Black people in baseball. Baseball has thrived due to the many great Black people playing and it'd be sad to see some many from that community never grace our TV's because they're choosing other sports..sports I don't care about. We should have more people of every ethnic background playing. We should be showing our youth what is possible.
I played baseball 5 years
Red Sox fan I go to Boston every year catch me a game
Black America needs to dominate Baseball, they are the best players bar none.........................................
