Negro league tribute game

Take yourself out to the ballgame this weekend in honor of the storied Negro leagues.

Four teams — Made Men, Fire in the Whole, Pony Express and Detroit 313 — will face off at Saturday’s Negro league tribute game, hosted by the Lansing Juneteenth Celebration. 

Derrick Quinney, Ingham County’s register of deeds, will throw the first pitch.

Madison Bradley, winner of the Lansing Juneteenth Celebration’s 2025 J-Teenth’s Got Talent competition, will perform the Black national anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

The Lansing Juneteenth Celebration continues all month, headlined by the annual Freedom Festival June 19 and 20.
