Black History Month: Missouri Head Baseball Coach Kerrick Jackson & Black Play-By-Play Broadcaster & Scholarship Fund Founder & Recipient, Adam Giardino and Grayson Singleton

The SIS Baseball Podcast

For our 5th annual episode with a connection to Black History Month, Mark Simon is joined by Missouri head baseball coach Kerrick Jackson, and Adam Giardino and Grayson Singleton of the Black Play-By-Play Broadcaster & Scholarship Fund.

Kerrick is the first Black head baseball coach in SEC history. He shared the story of his career path and influences, explained how data and analytics have become a big part of his job, and explained why his school is participating in this weekend's Andre Dawson Classic, competing against HBCU colleges (Historically Black Colleges and Universities).

Adam explained why he founded the fund and how it has helped aspiring play-by-play broadcasters, including Grayson, a sports broadcaster (including baseball) in Oklahoma with a great voice and a love for telling stories. You can donate to the fund at https://www.blackpxpfund.com/.
