“LET’S PLAY CATCH” FT. RAJAH CARUTH BLENDS BASEBALL, RACING, CULTURE, AND BEYOND

I’m excited to share a new video series from the Black Baseball Mixtape, titled “Let’s Play Catch,” which will blend baseball and culture in a fun and informative way for our growing audience.

Our first episode features a catch with professional racing driver Rajah Caruth. The segment was filmed at Richmond Raceway, a short track with a lot of history, and is dear to both Rajah and our host, Cheats (founder of the Mixtape).

In part I of the conversation, Rajah discusses his history with Richmond Raceway, the similarities between baseball and racing, and his college choice of Winston-Salem University, from which he graduated in 2014.

“Let’s Play Catch” is hosted by Cheats, a Black baseball insider and washed hip-hop “old-head” writer who has long achieved “Unc” status without knowing it.
