Moore to Consider | Baseball, Football, and Historical Events

Baseball once stood as a pillar of youth sports—but something’s changed. 

Today Carl Smith and Moore To Consider dive deep into why so many kids, especially Black youth, are stepping away from the game. What happened to the sandlot culture? Where did the pipeline break? And can community outreach and revamped coaching philosophies bring baseball back to the neighborhoods that need it most? From untold stories of cultural identity to raw reflections on mentorship and access, this discussion challenges everything you thought you knew about America's pastime.
