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) was hosted this weekend at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex in Vero Beach, Fla. It featured seven HBCU baseball teams -- Florida A&M, Southern, Alabama State, Bethune-Cookman, Grambling State, Jackson State and Texas Southern -- as well as Yale, which became the first Ivy League team to play in the Classic.
