Matt Roush says...
An upbeat sports documentary, narrated by ESPN’s baseball analyst Doug Glanville, recounts the vibrant history of the Indianapolis Clowns, renowned during the heyday of baseball’s Negro League for their comedic routines that garnered comparisons to the Harlem Globetrotters. The team gave the legendary Hank Aaron his start before going pro and also made history by hiring female stars, including Toni Stone. Disbanded in 1989 as the last surviving remnant of the Negro League, the Clowns were brought back to life this year as a charter member of the Banana Ball Championship League. The E60 special, commemorating Juneteenth, airs following a game between the Clowns and the Savannah Bananas in Cincinnati (7 pm/ET).
