San Diego Studio’s ridiculously successful baseball series is not one you may associate with narrative, but for two years now MLB The Show has played host to some of the best storytelling on PlayStation.
The Negro Leagues, a playable documentary mode anchored by the infectiously enthusiastic Bob Kendrick, will return for a third season in MLB The Show 25, once again digging into the backgrounds of some of baseball’s lesser-known superstars.
Presented with beautiful artwork, archive photography, and custom presentation, this is an enormously underrated mode that we can’t wait to continue in the new game.
The first storylines will focus on James ‘Cool Papa’ Bell, Norman ‘Turkey’ Stearnes, and Wilber ‘Bullet Joe’ Rogan, with more to follow in post-release updates. You can check out a taste of what to expect in the trailer embedded above.

I’ve been watching the Ken Burns baseball doc so this mode really does appeal, I forgot to play it when I tried out last year’s game through PS Plus. So many great players who never got to play in the major league because of the racism of the team owners. Plus Buck O’Neil is literally the nicest man of all time when they talk to him in that doc.
Been playing these the last 2 years, they are fantastic. Looking forward to doing it again this year.
As a rabid baseball fan, this game is my jam. I consider myself a student of the game, and these story lines alone have taught me so much. The production value is great, and Bob Kendrick is the perfect ambassador for retelling of negro league history. So enthusiastic. He’s clearly a man that loves his job. If you’re a baseball fan, and a fan of the history of the game, I cannot recommend these highly enough.
lol very first post moderated. On this post, I’m guessing I know exactly what it was about. Typical!
