Description

This episode was originally recorded in mid-February and was planned to be released right before the MLB Trailblazer Series. The Trailblazer Series is a girl’s baseball event that is conducted every year in Compton, CA right around the time that MLB celebrates Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. The event has been postponed indefinitely due the COVID-19 pandemic. It was an honor to talk to Elizabeth Benn, who is the Sr. Coordinator of Player Programs, Baseball Development, and Diversity for Major League Baseball. Her and a team of dedicated professionals are committed to increasing the opportunities for women in baseball, both and off the field.
