MLB Players Alliance x Minnesota Twins Equip the Future Tour

The Players Alliance is a group of more than 100 active and former professional players united to use their voice and platform to create new opportunities for the Black community in all areas of baseball and society. The organization’s mission is to create an inclusive culture within baseball and the community, where differences are leveraged to elevate racial equality. In addition to MLB and MLBPA, the group is supported by their non-Black teammates via the newly formed Allies of the Alliance, a committee of professional baseball players of any race or origin that wish to support the organization’s mission.

This event will be a full day event! Athletes will be dropped off at Patrick Henry High School at 9:50am and will be available for pick up at Patrick Henry at the conclusion of the Twins Game.
