"The Past, Present, and Future of the Black Catcher": with Texas Rangers C Ian Moller
Bob Kendrick takes a look at the greatest catchers in the history of Negro Leagues baseball (2:06), asks why the Black catcher has disappeared from today's game with Southern University Head Coach Chris Crenshaw (21:50), and sits down with possibly baseball's next young Black star behind the plate, and definitely it's next voice for positive social change, Texas Rangers 2021 draftee Ian Moller (29:28).
