  • Hey everybody, it's me, Josh.

  • And for this week's select and in honor of Black History Month, I've chosen our 2016 episode on the Negro Leagues.

  • It's a story that follows an arc, a lot like another episode we did on the Harlem Globetrotters where we have a group of people who are discriminated against.

  • So they went off and formed their own league, their own thing, showed their greatness, and then were eventually co opted, which left some of the people who'd helped build what they had out in the cold.

  • And it's also a story, though, of great feats of athleticism and social heroics as well.

  • And even if you're not into baseball, I guarantee you'll like this episode.
