Bradley Robert Ward is back on the pod (listen to Episode 21 for our previous conversation about bball and some of his older work!!) to discuss his research and new work about the Negro Leagues and his own relationship with baseball, as a fan, former player and image maker. Our conversation was timely for many reasons, one of them being that the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers was just this past Friday, August 28. Bradley and I discussed the failures of MLB to adequately address the systemic racism that exists both in their past and contemporary existence and how this connects to a larger issue within the US, where BIPOC histories are regularly left out of the historical narrative and misremembered, romanticized or forgotten by our mainstream media.
