The Black Play-by-Play Broadcaster Grant & Scholarship Fund

Of the 200+ television and radio play-by-play jobs in Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball, fewer than five are currently filled by Black broadcasters. A lack of diversity exists across the play-by-play profession, and The Black Play-by-Play Broadcaster Grant & Scholarship Fund addresses many barriers-to-entry that exist for aspiring Black broadcasters. This fund will lift those who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get a start in the field, while pushing the industry to more closely reflect the country as a whole.
