Meter and The Coach – March Madness Day 3 Recap – 3-24-2024

Memorial Day Weekend in Cooperstown at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum will pay tribute to the greatest legends of Black baseball by hosting the Hall of Fame East-West Classic: A Tribute to the Negro Leagues All-Star Game. The greatest legends of Black baseball demonstrated their talent and desire for four decades at the annual Negro Leagues East-West All-Star Game, honoring and Celebrating the History of Black Baseball. Jon Shestakofsky, Vice President of Communications and Education, details this special event and as a companion, new interactive museum exhibit, "The Souls of The Game". The Saturday afternoon game (first pitch 1:05pm) is held at historic Doubleday Field, where MLB Hall of Famers and players have enjoyed competing. Listen to Jon describe the concept and process that brought this initiative to fruition. The East-West Classic teams emerged with legends CC Sabathia (Captain-Team West) and Chris Young (Captain-Team East) enthusiastically recruiting recently retired black ball players, such as David Price, Adam Jones, Curtis Granderson and Prince Fielder. The Museum also provides programs that provide K-12 students and teachers interactive and meaningful learning experiences online and in their communities. We look forward to July for HOF Weekend 2024 as well, when WEEI's own Joe Castiglione, the voice of the Boston Red Sox for 41 years and counting, receives the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award recognizing excellence in baseball broadcasting.
