Jackie Robinson goes to the finals
This isn’t the first time Jackie Robinson West has gone to the Little League World Series. In fact, they have a long history of success.

Cook joins us to take a closer look at the team’s backstory and the long-time efforts of Little League and the Major Leagues to increase African American participation in America’s Pastime.
