Three MLB games were postponed Wednesday night after the Milwaukee Brewers and Seattle Mariners walked out in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
The Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies were among the teams that decided to play on, but that didn’t prevent Black players on all three teams from joining the cause.
Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward, Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler and Rockies designated hitter Matt Kemp each elected to sit out in solidarity with their fellow athletes from MLB and the NBA.
