  • How these newly included MLB stats recognize the legacies of Black players

    How these newly included MLB stats recognize the legacies of Black players
    May 29 2024
    When Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, it heralded an end to racial segregation in professional baseball.

    And even though Major League Baseball teams were integrated, official recordkeepers refused to acknowledge stats from the Negro Leagues – where Black players were relegated to for decades.

    Author and historian Larry Lester is one of the people who has fought to change that for years.

    He's spent over 50 years compiling statistics from the Negro Leagues. Now, that effort is getting recognition from the MLB, and Lester spoke to Ari Shapiro on the battle for inclusion.

    Statistics from the Negro Leagues have now been incorporated into the MLB's records – and it's reshaping the history of baseball.

    For generations, Black baseball players' contributions to the sport have been ignored. Now, their legacies are being recognized.

  • Closing arguments for Trump's trial have been made. What now?

    Closing arguments for Trump's trial have been made. What now?
    May 28 2024
    Nearly two dozen witnesses and 21 days of court later, Donald Trump's New York hush money trial is coming to a close.

    Twelve New Yorkers have been listening to witnesses like adult film actor Stormy Daniels and Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen.

    Today, those jurors heard closing arguments, first from the defense, and then the prosecution. Now, they have to determine whether Trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged affair with Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

    What final impressions did the closing arguments leave, and what could that mean for Donald Trump?

  • Forecasters predict another sweltering summer. Are we ready?

    Forecasters predict another sweltering summer. Are we ready?
    May 27 2024
    The summer of 2023 saw skylines choked by Canadian wildfire smoke, coral cooked in hot tub-warm ocean water and a month straight of 110-degree Fahrenheit high temperatures in Phoenix.

    Scientists say 2024 will likely bring another hotter-than-normal summer and, with it, the potential for more climate-driven disasters.

    NPR's Rebecca Hersher says forecasters predict an extremely active Atlantic Hurricane season.

    And NPR's Kirk Siegler reports on a shortage of federal wildland firefighters ahead of a high-risk wildfire season.
