Award-Winning Author Howard Bryant Talks Rickey Henderson with Cheats (BBM Crossover)

On this special edition of Mixtape Talk, Cheats visits with award-winning author and journalist Howard Bryant about his latest book, Rickey: The Life and Legend of an American Original. The book is fascinating as Howard digs deep into topics like the great migration of Black from the American South to the west coast. He talks about the explosion of money in baseball during the late 70s and 80s; he talks about the treatment of Black players, such as Rickey, by white owners, such as George Steinbrenner; Howard talks about it all. And by doing so, he paints a picture of one of the most dynamic, misunderstood, and legendary players the game has ever seen: Rickey Henderson. Buckle up...Mixtape Talk 007 featuring Howard Bryant is a doozy. As always, please subscribe to the Black Baseball Mixtape on social media. Reach out to me on Twitter and IG.
