Brandon “Showtime” Crosby joins us to chart a path that runs through JUCO resets, indie ball grind, and a pandemic pause, then pivots into the wild creativity of the Savannah Bananas and a leadership seat at Cosmic Baseball. It’s a story about talent, but it’s mostly about faith, reinvention, and choosing purpose when the traditional ladder won’t hold your weight.We start at the beginning: a Richmond kid with a Royals legacy, a love for baseball, and a detour when a D1 opportunity vanished at the last minute. From academic setbacks to a master’s in ministry, Brandon lays out the real math of chasing pro dreams—injuries, long drives after releases, and a league structure that can ignore great numbers. Then comes the twist: showing up to a Bananas tryout as Michael Jackson, discovering that performance and authenticity can live on the same field, and learning the playbook of branding, social storytelling, and fan connection.When that chapter ended, Cosmic Baseball called within hours. Now Brandon’s not just performing—he’s co-creating the show, bringing ideas to the table, and playing closer to home in front of packed crowds. The platform fuels a deeper mission: building a Black baseball community in Richmond, mentoring the next wave, and making access and development real, not theoretical. Expect candid talk on identity, resilience, and the simple discipline of controlling your daily inputs when outcomes are out of your hands.If you care about baseball, athlete development, or turning setbacks into momentum, this conversation hits home.
