back at @baseballpro i wrote about the “approved protests”, if you will, on MLB’s opening day: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/60397/black-lives-matter-protests-activism-mlb/
and again (lol, told you) @baseballpro i wrote a letter to Jackie Robinson: https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/61428/dear-jackie-robinson-baseball-racism-apple-pie/
then at mlb dot com, i wrote about Cumberland Posey - The only person to be inducted in both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the National Baseball Hall of Fame: https://www.mlb.com/news/cumberland-posey-negro-leagues-legend
also at mlb dot com, i did some digging into Octavius Catto’s life and little known legacy. a baseball pioneer who was murdered in 1871 on his way to endure Black voters in Philly could vote safely: https://www.mlb.com/news/octavius-catto-used-baseball-to-promote-equality

big thanks to everyone who has read, shared, liked, whatever. in a year where the weight of the world was incredible, i’m grateful to have been able to write. i kinda think it helped me survive.
