Legends of the Game
Join us in Historic Overtown for “Legends of The Game,” a powerful community conversation celebrating the history, cultural pride, and legacy of the Orange Blossom Classic.
This free event will feature a live panel discussion with former players, historians, alumni, and community leaders exploring the impact of the Classic and Overtown’s role in shaping its story.
