Diamond Diaries

For nearly half a century, a triple-A baseball team owned baseball in Arizona. Join Chris Cadeau for another episode of 'Diamond Diaries', as he and a star-studded lineup tell the story.

From 1941-1945, due to an executive order, Japanese-Americans were relocated to internment camps due to the concern of internal sabotage. Two of these camps were located in Arizona. During this time, baseball was a vehicle used to try and break down barriers that occurred racially. This is the story of that time and how baseball helped displaced families get through the emotional challenges during that period.
