Friday’s MLB Network broadcast will feature a Crosstown Classic of sorts, just not one Cubs and White Sox fans have viewed before.
As part of a league-wide commemoration of Juneteenth – or Emancipation Day – Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams are scheduled to appear on MLB Tonight: A Conversation.
The 90-minute special, scheduled to air at 4:30 p.m. CT and be simulcast on mlb.com, will address racial injustice and inequality, both in baseball and broader society. Epstein and Williams have been vocal on those subjects in recent weeks.
