About this listen

 When most people think of Miami's impact on the History of baseball, they may believe that the current Marlins team is the beginning of their baseball identity and story. But in reality, the city of Miami and the South Florida region possesses a rich history of organized baseball that crosses generations, leagues and color lines. This week I dig into the fascinating history between the city and the National Pastime. I unpack the story about the early stadiums in the city, I do a deep dive into the country's most successful and longest living Negro Leagues team; the Miami Ethiopian Clowns, who barnstormed their way around the nation until the late 1980's. And I detail the 32 year history of the city's current team; the Miami Marlins. #MiamiFlorida #MiamiMagicians #BabeRuth #HenryFlagler #TatumPark #OrangeBowl #LoanDepotPark #JoeRobbieStadium #BobbyMaduro #BillVeek #CarlBarger #WayneHuizenga #JohnHenry #JeffreyLoria #BruceSherman #DerekJeter
