Description

"You need to know your past. You need to understand the trials and tribulations that, not only Jackie Robinson went through, but this is U.S. history. It's not just baseball history."   Hall of Famer Derek Jeter sits down with Bob Kendrick for an exclusive one-on-one session, discussing everything from his first steps on a baseball field to the importance of Negro Leagues history, and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Hear The Captain discuss his first meetings with Buck O'Neil, his first steps through the museum, his enshrinement in both the Hall of Fame and Monument Park, his reverence for Dave Winfield, and so much more throughout twenty years in the big leagues. Hear why Derek is so proud of his post-playing career as an executive with the marlins, and why the game NEEDS more disruptors in front office. Hear all about Derek's work with his foundation, his lessons from his father, and his struggles on a basketball court. Plus, don't miss an in-depth discussion on bringing Black participation back to baseball at all levels. And so much more.  Learn more about the Turn 2 Foundation - Turn 2Follow Bob Kendrick on Twitter - @nlbmprezTo support the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and preserve the legacy of Buck O'Neil, please visit ThanksAMillionBuck.comVisit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City - NLBM.comSee and Support the Dream of the NEW Negro Leagues Baseball Museum - Pitch for the Future
