Introducing ‘Reclaimed: The Forgotten League’ - Ep. 1
Description
Introducing a new series, "Reclaimed: The Forgotten League," from our partners at ABC Audio.

In the new season of the award-winning podcast "Reclaimed," Vanessa Ivy Rose, granddaughter of Negro Leagues star Norman “Turkey” Stearnes, brings us on a quest to excavate his story and those of other Black players who were shut out of the majors, a legacy that still haunts the sport.
