The HBCU Swingman Classic — a celebration of HBCU excellence and the power of opportunity — has officially kicked off All Star 2025 in the ATL.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Fame Inductee Dave Parker. A true Pirates legend, Parker was a 7-time All-Star, 1978 NL MVP, three-time Gold Glove winner, and two-time World Series champion. His powerful presence, iconic swing, and enduring influence on the game will never be forgotten. 🖤🙏🏾

🎥 "This felt like a family reunion."
Black baseball royalty returned to Rickwood Field — the oldest pro ballpark in America — to celebrate the legacy of the game and each other.
In honor of Juneteenth, former MLB greats laced up for the East West Classic, sharing laughs, memories, and love for the culture that shaped them.
🖤⚾️ This wasn’t just a game. It was history, heritage, and homecoming.

The 2nd annual East-West Classic was the perfect way to celebrate Juneteenth. Last week at Rickwood Field was about more than baseball. It was about brotherhood, legacy, and showing up for each other — the same way those before us did! 💪🏾#eastwestclassic #rickwoodfield #mlb #juneteenth #brotherhood
