Talking Black Catchers (and Black Baseball) with Former MLB Pro Lenny Webster
Manage episode 431272743 series 3415692
I absolutely love this episode! Lenny Webster is a former MLB catcher who played 12 seasons in the BIGS. Web has dedicated his post-playing days to coaching and mentoring young players. Through his work with the Players Alliance and MLB Develops you will find Coach Webster at the center of events like the HBCU Swingman Classic, the Hank Aaron Invitational, and TPA clinics nationwide. During our conversation, you'll learn how Web fell in love with the game of baseball (why he chose it over football), why he decided to go to Grambling State University, what it was like to get called to the BIGS, and much more. As great a player as Coach Webster was, I think you'll find him even more compelling as a person. Enjoy.
