I’d like to announce that I’ve been hired as a Assistant Baseball Coach at Central Christian College!
@CCCKTigerBSB
I want to thank
@stephenmcnett
for the opportunity and excited to start my coaching career!
Got into the Masters program for Applied Anthropology at Mississippi State University 🙏🏽 furthering my academic journey for my passion for social advocacy ✊🏽
I was offered baseball scholarships by Pine Bluff and Grambling. It seemed like Pine Bluff gave be a brighter future and the school has commited to their baseball team. And I enjoyed the atmosphere when I visited ⚾️

Interesting enough this is what my thesis/internship project is about
1. As the point made here, due do lack of funding for college baseball it pushes young Black males away from baseball as they can revive 100% scholarships in football/basketball.

Discussion
6% of players of MLB opening day rosters are black.
Why is this number so low?
What can be done to fix it?
Where does fixing it start?
IMO, the disconnect is magnified with colleges offering 11.7 scholarships.
I (the teams I worked for) drafted some elite athletes
2019 was the toughest year of my life in general or baseball...2020 already blessed me with a new UCL and time for recovery and to build for 2021...the marathon continues 🏁

I’m tired of my dad bruh 😂🤦🏽♂️ I’m on the phone with him about me going home tomorrow.....tell me why he said “ouuu Mark, you land early enough to take the bus home” 💀
I’m beyond so proud of you my love ❤️, all of the studying, late nights, early mornings, and dedication. You are truly an example of excellence. Gods timing is always the right time ❤️
Not gonna let anyone out work me...no one is more motivated than I am.....I wasn’t supposed to make it past high school ball😤🗣 time to put the Rich on the map 🗺
First time throwing against live batters (scrimmage) since Oct 23rd....1IP 1K on 11 pitches...the hard work is paying off 🙏🏽💯 The Marathon continues

This is why as someone that went to Kennedy....we went through the real struggle and still doing as good or better than other schools with unnecessary shit....I have no respect for the district/other schools. (Why I have pride about going to Kenendy? You see why💯)
Good ball players listen to their coaches on how to get better...great ball players will find a way to get better on their own along with the coaches help...now let’s eat because I know I’m hungry

@PAE21
All I’m gonna say....for a city that is 4x smaller than Oakland and for this conversation to be so close/debated as it is proves how good Richmond athletes are 🤷🏽♂️
We emphasize the importance of weights in our program.
Weights allow us to push through our boundaries. They allow us to push through obstacles. Weights create us a chance to be limitless.

Workin night shifts at resturants with 30min bus ride home after waiting for 15-40min for the bus then walk another mile 💯 then working night shift for Amazon on 3-4 hours of sleep a day....that real grind
#JUCOPRODUCT
Prospects at Scholarship JUCOs: Quit the "struggle" talks. You'll got dorms, meal plans & tuition. Be thankful!!! Got it good.
Many Dudes at Non Scholarship JCs be having iffy living situations, near starving some nights & or working graveyard shifts to afford costs. Struggle!
FINAL
Central Christian College beats Southwestern Christian (OK) 9-1.

A 59-year-old Satchel Paige is served coffee in a rocking chair in the Athletics bullpen between innings of his scoreless 3-inning outing against the Red Sox. He hadn't pitched professionally in 4 years. Came out and kept the Sox to 10 batters over 3 innings. Only hit was to Yaz
The only people allowed to eat at my table when I make it are the ones who were there when I only had a used Baseball glove and a AC transit bus pass 💯🗣
At some point this shit gotta get easier....it’s tough always being the one there for others....while nobody helps you mentally 💯 this be why I don’t open up to anyone🤐
From my city of Richmond where this movie was based off of to the world...everyone has potential to do something in this life and you cannot be afraid of reaching it. Either from self motivation to improve your life like in this movie or whatever it is find that motivation 💯
My Frand father played in the negro leagues during the summers when he was in high school. And my grand mother was one of the first Black women to graduate from UC Berkeley in the early 1950s (they met at UC Berkeley since there wasn’t many black students then 😂)
