The Black Baseball Mixtape Black Baseball Mixtape

As MLB prepares for its highly anticipated Tribute to the Negro Leagues game at the historic Rickwood Field on June 20th, several special events and projects are happening in conjunction to celebrate the occasion. One of the most exciting for card collectors is a special trading card collection from Topps. The Topps collection features hand-drawn artwork by former MLB player and renowned artist Micah Johnson.
 In an exclusive one-on-one conversation with Marc Cheatham (Cheats) of the Black Baseball Mixtape podcast, Johnson, 33, called this collaboration with Topps, “The perfect project.” He said the project was “very grueling” due to the intense research he had to put in on each of the six subjects: Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Willie Mays, Larry Doby, and Monte Irvin.

On this episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape Podcast, I am talking with Coach Drew Spencer. Coach Spencer may be the most compelling man in baseball. He is the Complex Coach for the New York Yankees. He is also the Head man for the British National baseball team, a team that played in the 2023 World Baseball Classic and has already qualified for the 2026 WBC. Coach Spencer is ushering in a new wave of British baseball that doesn't look traditional. The team is filled with Black players from all over the Globe. If you're interested in how he's done this, stick around and listen.

One opinion I often hear is that MLB teams need more young Black people in their front office. That is true, but the path to getting into a position as an MLB Front Office Executive is tricky. Those future GMs may have grind at levels they didn't even know existed.
Brandon Rembert is one of those future GMs currently out on the grind. Brandon is a development scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates. At 25, he has taken control of his career and is working to put himself off the road and in an MLB Front office someday.
On this episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape Podcast, I (Cheats) chop it up with Brandon and discuss his path to the Pirates organization, his love for the game, and his playing career. I think you will find Brandon insightful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I'm sure you will enjoy this conversation.

On this episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape, Cheats talks with TT Bowens of the Bowie Baysox—the Connecticut native- about his journey in baseball and the mental approach that has led to his success.
TT was a late bloomer in the game and grew his confidence playing at Central Connecticut State. Now, in pro ball, TT stays focused and grounded on being the best player and person he can be every day.

I spoke with Donta' Williams of the Bowie Baysox on this Black Baseball Mixtape podcast episode. Donta' is a Las Vegas native. He played college baseball at the University of Arizona and was a 4th Round draft pick of the O's in 2021.
Donta and I talk about his personal journey to pro ball and the importance of a strong foundation in the game. Donta' had excellent leadership from his youth coach, Coach Ceasar in Vegas, and his family. Without that leadership, he would not be where he is today.
He also shares his love for a VA natvie in Jackie Bradley Jr. Being from VA myself, I love to hear that.
This episode is filled with authentic conversation and support. It should be shared with every young player who dreams of making the pros but has been doubted along the way.
