  Nasir A. ’27

  Nasir A. ’27 began playing baseball at age four after being inspired by the film 42, which chronicles Jackie Robinson’s groundbreaking journey as the first Black athlete to play in MLB. “The last scene of the movie was amazing,” he said. “Jackie hits a homerun off a team that didn’t even want to pitch to him. This was someone who looked like me doing incredible things. I wanted to be just like him.”
  
  Nasir’s dedication to the sport is reflected in his demanding training and game schedule. In addition to playing for the Campbell Hall Varsity Boys’ Baseball team, he has competed on a travel team since he was fourteen, commuting two hours each way for practices.
