Educational, eye-opening, engaging and entertaining. This is a must-listen for any baseball fan, and non-fans alike. I listened to The Forgotten League in a weekend and was sad when it ended.

The 6 episodes were enlightening, informative, educational, uplifting, factual, historical, entertaining, thought provoking and down right inspirational. I had moments where I wanted to cheer and I had moments where my eyes welled up with tears. The final episode left me yearning for more, so I hope the stories of the Negro Leaguers/Major Leaguers will continue because six episodes only scratch the surface of these talented hidden figures who were denied their rightful place in history. Vanessa and ABC News and their staff put together a phenomenal series that will resonate in the hearts of many, while carrying on the legacy of my dad Norman “Turkey” Stearnes and the Negro Leagues. The soundtrack is a keeper too. I loved it and I am proud of my daughter Vanessa for completing this two year magnificent project with Madeleine and her awesome staff.

Vanessa Ivy Rose did a wonderful job orating this series! I didn’t expect to get drawn into the stories, but her emotional connection & delivery made it easy for me to connect and tap in.

This podcast brings the emotion of this league to life so beautifully. One minute I feel like the negro leagues were so romantic and fun. Next minute I’m angry and sad about the racism. And the host makes it so personal in just the right way.
