In this inspiring episode of Leaving the Pack, I had the honor to sit down with Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, for a heartfelt and energetic conversation about history, leadership, and legacy. Bob shares his incredible journey from a passionate volunteer to becoming the president of one of America’s most treasured cultural institutions.
Through his signature storytelling style, Bob explores the power of narrative in shaping history, revealing how the Negro Leagues embody resilience, innovation, and the unyielding pursuit of excellence. He discusses why the Negro Leagues are not just a vital chapter in baseball’s story, but a profound reflection of American history and identity.
The conversation also dives into the modern relevance of the Negro Leagues, from their inclusion in the hit video game MLB The Show to their celebration by the wildly popular Savannah Bananas, who carry the spirit of creativity and joy that defined Negro Leagues baseball.
Bob reflects on the museum’s mission to preserve and expand the reach of this history, and his personal hopes for the legacy he wants to leave behind—one that honors those who played for love of the game and paved the way for generations to come.
An episode full of passion, purpose, and timeless lessons — this is one you don’t want to miss.
