For our 5th annual episode with a connection to Black History Month, Mark Simon is joined by Missouri head baseball coach Kerrick Jackson , and Adam Giardino and Grayson Singleton of the Black Play-By-Play Broadcaster & Scholarship Fund . Kerrick is the first Black head baseball coach in SEC history. He shared the story of his career path and influences, explained how data and analytics have become a big part of his job, and explained why his school is participating in this weekend's Andre Dawson Classic , competing against HBCU colleges (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). Adam explained why he founded the fund and how it has helped aspiring play-by-play broadcasters, including Grayson, a sports broadcaster (including baseball) in Oklahoma with a great voice and a love for telling stories.
