The Red Black Green Baseball Blog focuses on the African diaspora’s past, present, and future relationship with professional baseball. Black baseball history is expansive, stretching from Nicaragua and Alabama to Japan and South Sudan. While many think that baseball is dying within the African-American community and across the entire African diaspora, the opposite is true. Baseball has taken huge leaps forward on the African continent during the 21st century. While not known for producing professional baseball players, the Anglophone Caribbean has had a relatively large contingent of millennial and Gen-Z baseball talent reach the upper minors and majors during the 2010s and 2020s. The Red Black Green Baseball Blog offers articles based on Black baseball history, player evaluation, and commentary on important current events involving active Black players within the sport. Some of my past work is available to view below.

Top Ten Black Catchers of All Time Part 1 (#10 - #6)
This is the first article in a series that will rank the top ten Black baseball players at each position.
George Valera Turned 50 Pesos Into A Professional Baseball Career
Cleveland had one of the most unproductive outfields in all of baseball during the 2010s, ranking 25th in fWAR, 26th in wRC+, 27th in OPS, 28th in runs scored, and 29th in home runs in comparison to collective outfields fielded by the other 29 teams during the 2010s.

The Show Notes #1: Examining Some of the Factors That Caused Black America’s Detachment With Baseball
The professional athletes that have played in Minor League Baseball are already the best in the world at the game of baseball. The almost twenty thousand individuals who have worn an MLB uniform are outliers in a world of hundreds of thousands who dream of but do not reach baseball’s most competitive stage. Shortstop Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox is one of these individuals, and he is an outlier among the outliers who happen to be his peers because of the extremely unique path he took to becoming a professional baseball player.
The Show Notes #2: The World Baseball Classic’s Potential Impact on the African Diaspora’s Relationship With Baseball
The 2023 World Baseball Classic was an absolute win for baseball, and it was thoroughly needed. The irony of MLB fans pointing out that the WBC is less than 20 years old every time an important MLB player got hurt captures the point of why the WBC is long overdue and necessary for the sport to thrive on a global level.
The Show Notes #3: The Resurgence of Black Excellence Behind The Dish
One of the main things I looked forward to when the 2023 World Baseball Classic rosters were announced was watching all the young Black talent on teams such as Great Britain and Canada.
