Writer Cam Perron, whose commitment to the Negro Leagues belies his age, talks about this work on behalf of its players
Cam Perron, author of “Comeback Season,” wouldn’t be the first person you thought of to fight for recognition and MLB pensions for Negro Leaguers. First he’s too young; second, perhaps more to the point, he’s too, well, white. Yet his passion for “black baseball” is colorblind; He saw injustice and campaigned to fix it. He’s had plenty of success at it.
Tune in to “Talking Baseball!” and hear Perron talk about his book and about how, as a teen in Boston, he orchestrated a campaign that brought him high-fives for his selfless work to help black ballplayers.
Veteran journalist Justice B. Hill hosts “Talking Baseball!,” a weekly LiveStream on Facebook.
Talking Baseball features fascinating guests who will discuss the grand game. Are you looking for “gotcha” moments? Well, you won’t find any here. Just smart talk about baseball …
Talking Baseball is sponsored by the Baseball Heritage Museum and Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
