The 8th annual Double Duty Classic featured the top inner-city high school baseball players from Chicago squaring off at U.S. Cellular Field on Wednesday.
The event celebrated the history and tradition of Negro League baseball, and as White Sox executive vice president Kenny Williams and Chicago native Mike Wilbon speak about in the video above, promoted the importance of baseball in the inner-city.
Also, former White Sox pitcher James Baldwin and Chicago native Blake Hickman - who the White Sox drafted in 2015 - shared their experiences, both past and present, of being part of the White Sox organization and the movement to promote African-American participation in baseball.
