- Sean Gibson calls in to talk about his Great Grandfather Josh Gibson and Black History Month.

Did you know the best batter in baseball history played for Pittsburgh? Not the Pirates, but our Negro League teams that flourished here before integration. Josh Gibson played for the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords back in the 30s and 40s, and he had an exceptional batting average. But it's only now, many decades later, that Major League Baseball has finally added his statistics to the record books. We're with his great-grandson, Sean Gibson, to talk about what this means. Check out our previous conversation with Sean Gibson, read up on Josh Gibson's legacy, and learn more about Sean's foundation.

It's the Friday news roundup! City Cast contributor Meg St-Esprit joins executive producer Mallory Falk and producer Sophia Lo to break down Pennsylvania's new tourism slogan and share some favorite statewide travel spots. Plus we have a bunch of transit updates – including a permanent discount – and tips to prepare for tick season. (It's expected to be especially bad this year!) We always cite our sources: Allegheny County residents who use SNAP benefits will be able to get half-price tickets for PRT rides.  Advocacy groups are raising issues with the current stroller policy on PRT buses because open strollers limit spaces for wheelchair users.  Improvements coming to the Red Line will make T stations more accessible for wheelchair users. Be prepared to check for ticks after outdoor activities and learn how to safely remove them if they've taken an unwelcome ride inside. Pennsylvania's new tourism slogan came with a shiny ad voiced by Broad City actress Abbi Jacobson. Now that data from the Negro Leagues has been incorporated into MLB stats, Pittsburgher Josh Gibson officially has the best batting average.  Check out our interview with Josh Gibson's great-grandson, Sean Gibson, about his work to get Negro League stats counted alongside white players of the same era.  If you enjoyed the interview with Rivers of Steel Director of Historic Resources and Facilities, Ron Baraff, learn more here.

Josh Gibson is now Major League Baseball's all-time best hitter, after the MLB integrated stats from the previously excluded Negro Leagues — where Gibson played from 1930 to 1946. Matt Galloway talks to his great grandson Sean Gibson about what that recognition means.

Baseball prides itself on statistics and it's how the sport recognizes its all-time greats. Those stats are now changing, in a big way. MLB officially incorporated statistics from the Negro Leagues into its record books. That means legendary hitter Josh Gibson is now atop several lists. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Gibson's great-grandson, Sean Gibson. It's part of our coverage of Race Matters. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Homestead Grays catcher Josh Gibson hit something like 800 home runs during his career, but Major League Baseball has never counted Negro League stats alongside white players of the same era. Two years ago, MLB officials promised to change that, but so far – no dice.  Fifty years since Gibson's induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, his great-grandson, Sean Gibson, shares more about that legacy on and off the field, plus efforts to honor Gibson as the new namesake for the MLB's annual MVP Award. “If Josh Gibson's name is on the MVP Award, it will not just be about Josh Gibson. It'll be about the 3,400 men who were denied the opportunity to play.”  Vote for Josh here. And if you're looking for a way to celebrate the anniversary, Sean runs the Josh Gibson Foundation, which is hosting events all summer, including one on Wednesday in Washington, Pa.

Today we continue to explore the Negro Leagues and Negro League Hall of Fame candidates. We welcome Gary Gillette, Ted Knorr, and Sean Gibson to the podcast. Gillette, Knorr, and Gibson have joined together to form a new committee—named "42 for 21"—to publicize deserving Negro Leagues & Black Baseball candidates for upcoming Hall of Fame elections. We discuss their backgrounds, how the project started, the election that took place, and what comes next for the project. We specifically looked at a handful of candidates that performed very well in the election but don't rank as highly with Eric Chalek's Negro League MLEs: Rap Dixon, Newt Allen, Spottswood Poles, John Donaldson, Ted “Double Duty” Radcliffe, Oliver “The Ghost” Marcell, and Chet Brewer. Gary Gillette is the founder and current chair of the Friends of Historic Hamtramck Stadium, a nonprofit that is working to restore the former Negro League ballpark near his home in Detroit. Gillette also served for a decade on the Tiger Stadium Conservancy's board of directors. He has four decades of baseball research, writing, and editing experience, beginning with his work with Bill James and Project Scoresheet in the mid-1980s. A contributor to six editions of Total Baseball, Gillette later designed and co-edited with Pete Palmer the five editions of the ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia. Gillette also designed the ESPN Pro Football Encyclopedia and served as executive editor for both editions of that reference work. A former member of the Society for American Baseball Research's (SABR) board of directors, Gillette is a past co-chair of two of SABR's major research committees—the Business of Baseball Committee and the Ballparks Committee. He was the founder and president of SABR's Detroit Chapter and is now the chair of SABR's new Southern Michigan Chapter. Ted Knorr has been a baseball fan since infancy, when his grandma gave him a Brooklyn Dodgers jersey. A few years later, an aunt introduced him to baseball via Ladies Nights at Forbes Field. Later still, a childhood friend—Martha—introduced him to the APBA Major League Baseball Game. Ted has been a SABR member since 1979 and, in 1998, founded and hosted the initial Jerry Malloy Negro League Research Conference. Sean Gibson is the great-grandson of Negro Leagues legend and 1972 National Baseball Hall of Fame player Josh Gibson. Sean has dedicated his life to the preservation of Josh's legacy and is the Executive Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation, a Pittsburgh-area non-profit organization. The Josh Gibson Foundation was established in 1994 in an effort to keep the memory of Pittsburgh's beloved Josh Gibson and the entire Negro Leagues alive. The foundation partners with the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University and Carnegie Mellon University by matching up college students with elementary and middle school youth for tutoring. With a strong focus on education, the foundation currently serves roughly 300 children and plans to increase those numbers by starting new programs yearly. The foundation also sponsors the Josh Gibson Baseball Academy. 42 for 21: https://www.42for21.org/ The Josh Gibson Foundation: https://www.joshgibson.org/

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about how baseball writers are coping with the lockout, revisit the burst of spending that preceded its start, and marvel at the wide variety of Hall of Fame ballots that have surfaced so far.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella outlined a commitment to increase diversity in representation and strengthen a culture of inclusion. We are fortunate to have two of the thought leaders helping to lead Microsoft's global channel inclusion strategy. Karen Fassio is the Director and head of Microsoft One Commercial Partner Group and is responsible for digital partner experience and operations, scale partner engagement and channel inclusion strategy. She is also a Co-Founder of Women in Cloud and has oversight of many programs and associations such as the IAMCP, WIC and BPGI. Regina Johnson is the strategy lead for Microsoft's Black Partner Growth Initiative, an initiative to increase Black representation within the Microsoft partner ecosystem. Karen believes that as a company, Microsoft holds itself accountable for the kind of impact they want to make in the world, and that includes rethinking their infrastructure, security protocols, as well as their partner ecosystem.Regina makes a point that you must first admit that there is a problem before you can truly solve or present a solution for diversifying key leadership or senior-level positions. She also believes that having honest conversations are a part of that first step. She makes it clear that for lasting change to take place, you must be ‘intentional'. This encompasses a foundational shift in both the mindset and culture of the organization. Karen furthers this point by stating how opportunities could be lost and the overall organization affected, including their partner ecosystem, supply chain, and customer base, all because of a lack of true representation. She stated that organizations on this journey cannot just bring in a single minority or underrepresented leader, and then expect there to be a magnitude of impact. The challenge will be to bring in at a minimum 3 key leaders. We must go beyond a quota and bring in the very best talent into these senior-level positions. We also ask Karen about her work with the Buck Leonard Foundation (www.buckleonard.org/) and to share about future growth initiatives. Please take a moment to listen to Episode 53: Leading a Campaign to rename the MVP, where we speak with Sean Gibson, the great-grandson of the legendary baseball player Josh Gibson.

For this episode, we literally chase after Dragons and learn about the brand new anthology book 'Dragons of a Different Tail', which was released earlier this week on most digital platforms and will soon be released as a physical book.Joining me to discuss this brand new book are its creators and writers Marx Pyle, Julie Seaton Pyle, J.C. Mastro, Katharine Dow, Jeff Burns, and Sean Gibson.Over the course of an hour, we discuss all things Dragons and unpack some of the inspirations behind the stories contained within the book. For example, Katherine Dow reveals that her Dragon story was inspired by the sport of Pigeon Racing, which is pretty big in the part of New York that she moved to. Whereas Sean Gibson talks about how his love of Victorian Literature informed his story.Added to that. The episode also includes a fair bit of Gallows Humor as the new Covid variant known as the Omicron Dragon was let loose during the recording of the show.If you are interested in checking out this new book you can get a hold of it at the following two links on Amazon.UK Readers can get the book hereUS Readers can get the book here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Your hosts discuss how true the part about the dragon really was as they talk about unreliable narrators and reminisce over D&D (and other tabletop roleplaying game) hijinks. Think Orcs get a bad rap? You'll probably love The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True by Sean Gibson as well. Your hosts have also made it to Eric in their Journey to the Center of the Discworld, and Lilly got to enjoy the experience of reading a Pratchett book for the first time. Also a potential first for Fiction Fans: your hosts' notes were almost identical for this book. Don't worry, it probably won't happen again. This week's Pet Peeve Corner brings you: Minutes!

Twins talk it Up Episode 53: Leading a Campaign to rename the MVP   Each year, the Week of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game is kicked off by events leading up to the All-Star Game between the American League and National League. The week includes entertainment, an All-Star Futures game, a Celebrity softball game and the highly anticipated Home Run Derby.  Perhaps what fans enjoy most are the stories that surround the game of baseball itself.  We all look for those stories- stories that inspire and go beyond the game itself.  One of the stories you may hear is one that surrounds the naming of the game's MVP.  The Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award is annually given to one outstanding player in the American League and one in the National League. In this episode, we are pleased to be joined by the great grandson of the legendary baseball player Josh Gibson.  Sean Gibson is the Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing academic and athletic programs for youths to discover and reach their potential.  Sean is also leading a campaign to rename the MVP in honor of his great grandfather.  His great grandfather like so many was denied an opportunity to play in the Major Leagues.  Sean shares some of the incredible stories surrounding his great grandfather, the Negro Leagues and icons of the great game itself. Word is that 3 names are being considered for this honor: Frank Robinson (only player to win the MVP for both Leagues), former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey (who signed Jackie Robinson) and Josh Gibson.  It's uncertain when a decision will be made on the renaming of the MVP, but you can join the campaign, sign the petition and stay involved.  Enjoy the All Star week and the amazing stories surrounding 'America's Pastime'.

We sat down with Sean Gibson, great grandson of Negro League legend Josh Gibson, to talk about his famous family, what it was like seeing Josh's life turned into an opera, and what he's doing in the current day to carry on the Gibson family name with his Josh Gibson Foundation. (Recorded in April, 2020)

We review the weekend against the Astros. We also celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues with an classic Dave Niehaus and Buck O'Neil. We also explore the life and career of Josh Gibson with Sean Gibson.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I speak with Sean Gibson, who is the great grandson of Negro League great and baseball Hall of Famer, Josh Gibson. Currently serving as the Executive Director of the Josh Gibson Foundation. We talk about the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues, the legacy of Josh Gibson, and race relations in America today.

'The Sound of Economics' podcast continues with an instalment of the Deep Focus series, with Bruegel fellow Marek Dabrowski talking to Sean Gibson about the findings of his research paper on Russia's growth problems (co-written with Antoine Mathieu Collin). The Russian economy has weathered several crises in recent decades, most recently between 2014-16. Though this latest dip was relatively not so deep, growth has returned much more slowly this time around than in previous years. Some problems are age-old, while others are a product of recent political movements and developments. In this episode the conversation specifies some of Russia's institutional shortcomings and structural economic weaknesses, accounting for the country's efforts at macroeconomic management and the evolving demographic difficulties particularly concerning Russia's working-age population.  The discussion also reflects on the particular economic impacts of Russia's involvement in Ukraine, and looks ahead to the most vital and realistic possible remedial measures that could yet be taken. If you are interested in more of Bruegel's work on this topic, we recommend Marek Dabrowski's blog post on how Russia's foreign policy obstructs its attempts at economic modernisation. Also consider the same author's recent publication, 'Can emerging markets be a source of global troubles again?'

**Bruegel fellow Dirk Schoenmaker walks Sean Gibson and 'The Sound of Economics' listeners through his latest working paper, focusing on how to make monetary policy in Europe more climate-friendly** In this episode of the Deep Focus podcast series, Bruegel's Dirk Schoenmaker explains his proposed greener alternative to the ECB's current 'market-neutral' approach to monetary policy. Elaborating on research contained within [a recent Bruegel working paper](http://bruegel.org/2019/02/greening-monetary-policy/), the author shows that significant strides can be made while remaining within existing constraints and with due considerations for the primary vital purpose of monetary policy. If you would like to learn more on this topic, we recommend Dirk Schoenmaker's blog post on greening monetary policy, published in conjunction with the aforementioned working paper.

Bruegel senior fellow J. Scott Marcus joins Sean Gibson for this episode of Deep Focus on the 'The Sound of Economics', elaborating on a Bruegel study for the European Parliament into the progress made with the Commission's Digital Single Market Strategy since 2015. In a study for the European Parliament, Bruegel senior fellow J. Scott Marcus (together with co-authors Georgios Petropoulos and Timothy Yeung) has reviewed the gains delivered so far by these new measures, insofar as they can yet be determined. The authors also look at what the next legislative term might deliver, what realistic progress can be expected and what business remains unfinished regarding measures implemented by the current Commission. Speaking to Bruegel press officer Sean Gibson in this episode of the Deep Focus podcast series, Scott Marcus specifies some of the real achievements that the DSM can - and, indeed, has begun to - deliver for both consumers and producers. More broadly, the DSM is put in the context of efforts to digitise European society, specifically how well policies towards the former are keeping pace with the latter.  We invite you to review [the research paper in question](http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2019/631044/IPOL_STU(2019)631044_EN.pdf) in this episode, but also recommend consulting [Scott Marcus' testimony before the European Parliament Committee](http://bruegel.org/2018/07/economic-benefits-of-the-digital-single-market/) on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO).

**Bruegel fellows Reinhilde Veugelers and Simone Tagliapietra elaborate on the recent Policy Contribution they co-authored on the European automotive industry in the light of the global electric vehicle revolution.** Electrification is a key trend transforming the global automotive industry, especially in the light of increased decarbonisation efforts. The speed at which the technology is being developed and the decreasing production costs make for a rather optimistic prognosis for future global deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). The automotive sector is undoubtedly an important one for the EU economy, yet it has lagged behind in terms of both EV manufacturing and deployment. In this episode of Deep Focus, Sean Gibson interviews Reinhilde Veugelers and Simone Tagliapietra, the co-authors of a recently published [Policy Contribution on the EU automotive industry and the global EV revolution](http://bruegel.org/2018/12/is-the-european-automotive-industry-ready-for-the-global-electric-vehicle-revolution/). European manufacturers have extensive experience, robust R&D projects and a large internal market, but can they make the switch to EVs sufficiently fast to remain competitive? To answer that question, Reinhilde and Simone outline the current picture of China's industry and point to the lessons that can be learnt from their electrification success story. While Europe cannot and should not adopt the centrally planned policy measures, a more comprehensive policy framework combining both demand- and supply-side instruments is necessary to bring the industry back up to speed. The research discussed in this episode is available in full in the Bruegel Policy Contribution, ["Is the European automotive industry ready for the global electric vehicle revolution?"](http://bruegel.org/2018/12/is-the-european-automotive-industry-ready-for-the-global-electric-vehicle-revolution/), by Gustav Fredriksson, Alexander Roth, Simone Tagliapietra and Reinhilde Veugelers. For further reading, we recommend [a blog post on low carbon technology exports](http://bruegel.org/2017/08/low-carbon-technology-exports-the-race-is-still-open/) by Georg Zachmann and Enrico Nano.

**Bruegel senior scholar Zsolt Darvas speaks about his review of systematic errors in ECB forecasting, in another instalment of the Deep Focus podcast on 'The Sound of Economics' channel** In this episode of the Deep Focus, Sean Gibson speaks with Bruegel senior scholar Zsolt Darvas about his research on European Central Bank forecasting. Zsolt has analysed that, over the past five years, ECB forecasts have proven to be systematically incorrect: core inflation remained broadly stable at 1% despite the stubbornly predicted increase, while the unemployment rate fell faster than predicted. Such forecast errors, which are also inconsistent with each other, raise serious doubts about the reliability of the ECB's current forecast of accelerating core inflation, and necessitates a reflection on the inflation aim of the ECB. You may also be interested in this blog post by Zsolt Darvas, which contains charts illustrating just how erroneous [the ECB's forecasting on inflation and unemployment](http://bruegel.org/2018/12/ecbs-huge-forecasting-errors-undermine-credibility-of-current-forecasts/) has become in recent times.

**Bruegel fellow Georg Zachmann talks through a Bruegel Blueprint he has co-authored, looking into the potential distributional effects of climate policies, in another episode of the Deep Focus series.** Climate change is one of the big questions of this century, and mitigating its effects remains an enormous challenge. Decarbonisation will require a massive shift in our economies. Heating, transport, electricity and industry will have to transition to a world without fossil fuels. Agriculture and industry will have to find new ways to reduce emissions. This aim – as ambitious as it is essential – necessitates intrusive climate policies. In this episode of Deep Focus, Sean Gibson interviews Georg Zachmann, a co-author of a recently published [Blueprint on distributional effects of climate policies](http://bruegel.org/2018/11/distributional-effects-of-climate-policies/). They untangle the complicated picture of said effects, which may vary depending on the policy tool and its design, the sector addressed and the initial socio-economic conditions in the country. Some policy tools such as carbon taxes may leave low-income households worse off, while policies such as taxes on aviation may leave them better off relative to high-income households. Others, like public investment and agriculture policies, still have unclear effects. One thing is for certain: whatever distributional effects climate policies may have, they constitute no argument against their implementation. Climate change would leave everyone worse off and disproportionately hit the poorest part of the population. It is therefore essential to design policies in a way that minimises the adverse effects on those most vulnerable.

**Bruegel senior fellow Nicolas Véron joins Sean Gibson to delve into the recent Policy Contribution on how to better the European Union anti-money laundering (AML) regime, a paper he has co-written with Joshua Kirschenbaum.** The study offers a response to the evident flaws of the present system, exemplified by a series of banking scandals in multiple European Union countries, and amplified by changing geopolitics. The shortcomings of the current legal framework are identified by the authors as systemic in nature – the combination of an enforceable single market and national supervision of banks fails to meet the AML objectives. In their analysis, the authors propose a new European AML authority that would work on the basis of deep relationships with national authorities such as financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies. For further reading, you might consider [a blog post](http://bruegel.org/2018/05/completing-europes-banking-union-means-breaking-the-bank-sovereign-vicious-circle/) by Isabel Schnabel and Nicolas Véron discussing the need to "complete the banking union" by breaking the bank-sovereign vicious circle.

Bruegel senior fellow Zsolt Darvas joins Sean Gibson on ‘The Sound of Economics' to expound on the themes of a Policy Contribution on the [macroeconomic implications of healthcare systems](http://bruegel.org/2018/08/the-macroeconomic-implications-of-healthcare/), which he has co-written with Nicolas Moës, Yana Myachenkova and David Pichler. This episode is the first in a new Bruegel podcast series, ‘Deep Focus', looking specifically at Bruegel research and elaborating on the insights contained therein, in conversation with the authors.  The effects that healthcare systems can impose upon economies are pronounced and far-reaching. The health sector alone accounts for a significant portion of output and employment in the EU, even before we look at the pharmaceutical companies conducting research and development towards healthcare. From a fiscal point of view, health is one of the most expensive items on a government's list of expenses.  In this analysis, the scholars measured the efficiency of each EU healthcare system – and of several from beyond the EU's borders. The results illustrate that improving healthcare outcomes is not as simple as investing more and more money in the system. In this podcast, we discuss some of the areas where real differences can be made both to the health of the general public and to the cost incumbent upon governments.

**Bruegel fellow Georg Zachmann joins Richard Tol, professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Sussex, and Pieter-Willem Lemmens, head of analysis at the climate policy think-tank Sandbag, for this episode of 'The Sound of Economics', to discuss the impact of Brexit on climate and energy policy in the European Union** Britain's departure from the European Union poses questions not only for the EU energy market, but the bloc-wide climate-change targets and emissions trading system. Presented by Sean Gibson, edited by Giuseppe Porcaro In the energy context, Brexit not only marks the separation of Britain from the EU but also places Ireland in a uniquely difficult position, having previously utilised infrastructure in Britain to connect to the rest of the EU. On the matter of climate change, the loss of Britain might make it more difficult for Europe to meet current targets, and set further ambitious goals for the future. In this episode of 'The Sound of Economics', senior Bruegel fellow Georg Zachmann joins the conversation with Richard Tol, professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Sussex, and Pieter-Willem Lemmens, head of analysis at the climate policy think-tank Sandbag. Georg Zachmann co-authored a research paper in November 2017 for the European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, about the impact of Brexit on the Irish energy system - also writing a Bruegel blog post on the same topic. More recently Georg has written an opinion piece on how climate-change policies risk increasing social inequality.

The final document on the German coalition agreement will have significant consequences for the European Union and the Eurozone. Bruegel director Guntram Wolff gives his assessment of the agreement's key features in this episode of 'The Sound of Economics' The negotiations to form the next German government have been a significant factor in European affairs for months now. With an agreement finally struck, this episode of 'The Sound of Economics' sees Bruegel director Guntram Wolff analyse the document of the agreement and what it means for the EU. In short, there is a lot of continuity: the Bundestag remains in charge of the European Stability Mechanism, and the EU's fiscal rules are praised; there will be money for the EU budget, too. More significant is the will to move towards a common tax base and minimum tax rate for corporate taxation. Overall, this is not a breakthrough for Europe.

Brexit has afforded the European Parliament with the opportunity to reform - but will the current proposals for reallocating the UK's 73 seats after 2019 fully realise that opportunity? In the latest chapter of 'The Sound of Economics', Bruegel director Guntram Wolff highlights the potential political ramifications of seat reallocation, and the difficulties inherent in making the Parliament more representative while staying within the bounds of previous agreements.

SUMMARY:  Manufacturing in its 21st century guise is markedly different from its traditional portrayal. Innovations are not only improving the efficiency of production processes but are also allowing for the establishment of more complex supply chains, with smarter communications systems and big-data management systems driven by an increasing digitalisation. Companies in a variety of sectors in Europe are having to adapt quickly to keep pace with the change. In this episode of the Sound of Economics, Simone Tagliapietra discusses how the established energy companies are ensuring they stay relevant in this new age; J. Scott Marcus elaborates on the opportunities thus far missed in Europe to make e-commerce work better for everyone; and Reinhilde Veugelers looks at what Europe needs to do to maintain a global presence as new manufacturing takes hold, and what lessons might be learnt from elsewhere. Each of these three scholars has contributed significant research to the Bruegel Blueprint publication ['Remaking Europe: the new manufacturing as an engine for growth'](http://bruegel.org/2017/09/remaking-europe/), which explores the topic of new manufacturing in Europe across many sectors.
