Thank you @NashvilleStars and @MLBTheShow 🙏🏾 I’ve definitely been putting in work on the game and have unlocked Buck Leonard already. Grandpa Turkey looks great in the batter’s box and throwing people out from centerfield! My Diamond Dynasty squad is looking real nice too!🔥❤️⚾️
Happy @mlbtheshow Opening Day to all those who celebrate ⚾️⭐️
In “Storylines: The Negro Leagues - Season 3,” players can relive some of the greatest plays of renowned Negro Leagues players - including Nashville Native Norman “Turkey” Stearnes!
We got the chance to hear from Stearnes’ granddaughter, Vanessa Ivy Rose (@Turkeystearnes), about this special moment.
