Latin Ball
from Pitch Talks Hosted by Homestand
This week on Pitch Talks we’re talking béisbol! With recordings from our live Pitch Talks in Toronto, The Toronto Star’s Morgan Campbell and ESPN Deportes’ Arturo Marcano give us a quick history lesson on the game in Latin America, educate us on exactly how kids there as young as 11 years old are recruited AND discuss stereotyping of Latin players in the media.
