HBCU Swingman Classic History

In a country with a history like the United States, it is important to recognize the strides that have been made in terms of racial equality, as well as acknowledging the work left to do. Black baseball players were long barred from playing in MLB (they played in their own competitions known as the Negro Leagues) with trail blazers such as Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in MLB, breaking through the color barrier at last but enduring unthinkable prejudice and racism on the way. Retired superstar Ken Griffey Jr. launched the HBCU Swingman Classic in 2023 as a way to pay tribute to the contributions of African Americans to America’s favorite game as well as providing a showcase to the stars of tomorrow.
