Major League Baseball will showcase athletes from historically Black colleges and universities as a part of All-Star Week.
On Tuesday afternoon, the MLB Players Association and the Atlanta Braves previewed the HBCU Swingman Classic.
Former Atlanta Braves and Falcons player Brian Jordan will serve as a manager for the game, along with former Braves player David Justice.
“I’m very excited about it. I’m competitive, so I’m going to beat Dave Justice. There’s no doubt about it, but you know I’m just happy to see young men get an opportunity to get some exposure that probably wouldn’t have playing at HBCU, so it’s going to be fun,” Jordan said.
