LaTroy Hawkins | "I want to be remembered by how I treated people, and not the stats on the back of my baseball card."

You could call him the modern day Satchel Paige - A man who played three sports and pitched for 12 teams over 21 years, on his way to becoming one of just 16 men to ever pitch in over 1,000 games. And along the way, he enjoyed every minute of it.LaTroy Hawkins sits down with Bob Kendrick at Play Ball Park in Seattle to discuss his admiration for Negro Leagues baseball, and how Buck O'Neil deserves credit for every ounce of greatness of the last 70 years of baseball. Hear about the rocky start to LaTroy's career, the keys to his historic longevity, the lessons he learned along the way about how to treat people with dignity and respect, the work he's doing today to bring baseball to every young Black kid who wants it, where the game is headed, how to protect where it's been, a few words about his Godson - reigning NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes II - and so much more. Follow Bob Kendrick on Twitter - @nlbmprezTo support the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, and preserve the legacy of Buck O'Neil, please visit ThanksAMillionBuck.comVisit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City - NLBM.comSee and Support the Dream of the NEW Negro Leagues Baseball Museum - Pitch for the Future Follow Bob Kendrick on Twitter/X - @nlbmprez Follow Bob Kendrick on Instagram - @nlbmprez To support the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, please visit Donate | Negro Leagues Baseball Museum Visit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City - NLBM.com See and Support the Dream of the NEW Negro Leagues Baseball Museum - Pitch for the Future Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
