Articles and videos about Soul of the CD: Baseball Beyond Borders exposing kids of color to baseball and softball on FOX13 News | Seattle & Western Washington | Formerly Q13 News. FOX13
Since starting in 2014, Baseball Beyond Borders has served over 200 student-athletes and 98% of them have graduated from high school on time.Baseball is a game of failure. But kids of color often strike out, before ever stepping foot in the batters box.
"I’m grateful for the opportunity to go play baseball on the Eastside," said Gates. "It gave me what I needed to know. But my peers were over here struggling. They didn’t have the same opportunity. They were far better than me. They had more talent, had more skill and more ability. But they didn’t have the access.
"I think it [baseball] skipped a generation," said Gates. "There was a thriving group of folks playing baseball. And at some point, the emergence of basketball, soccer and other sports even football year-round has kind of taken over." "School is hard, baseball is hard also," said Kingston Edwards, who plays shortstop for the Baseball Beyond Borders program. "Baseball is a game of failure. And Baseball has helped me get out of struggles. So sometimes if I’m struggling in school, I can reflect on baseball and how I get out of slumps. Which helps me a lot. "
