Baseball and history are coming together in west Charlotte as local students get the chance to compete and learn in a three-day tournament, honoring Black history. Blair Brown has been playing baseball for as long as he can remember.
“Around 2, 3 years old, my dad started me off with machines and stuff, just hitting around the house,” Brown told Channel 9’s Miana Massey. “I just fell in love with it from there.”
Now, the Phillip O. Berry Academy junior is one of several student athletes taking the field at the Knothole Foundation’s Westside Story tournament.
