John Baker Day Talks: Doug Glanville Joins for Conversation About Race and Baseball

Before the 2020 season had even been implemented by Rob Manfred, I asked Cubs mental skills coordinator John Baker what he wanted to do about the 5th Annual John Baker Day. Without hesitation, he said “Black Lives Matter.” That response began a series of conversations with John himself and other Cubs bloggers and podcasters as to how we could use the platforms we have to raise up the voices and the issues people of color face in this country, while also raising money for organizations that work to solve these issues.
