The Andre Dawson Classic is an annual, round-robin collegiate baseball tournament designed by Major League Baseball to highlight Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their baseball programs.
Continuing its goal of highlighting the grand tradition of Black college baseball, the 18th iteration of the tournament (originally known as the Urban Invitational) will take place this weekend at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, Fla. It will feature seven HBCU baseball teams -- Florida A&M, Southern, Alabama State, Bethune-Cookman, Grambling State, Jackson State and Texas Southern -- as well as Yale, which will be the first Ivy League team to play in the Classic.
All games will be streamed live on MLB.com, AND MLB Network will broadcast two of Saturday's matchups: Yale vs. Jackson State at 4 p.m. ET and Bethune-Cookman vs. Florida A&M at 8 p.m. ET.
