Baseball moved the Civil Rights Game to the regular season this year. It takes place Saturday in Cincinnati, amid a weekend of events.

Ali, Aaron and Cosby will be honored at a Saturday luncheon with Clinton as the keynote speaker and Leonard, Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson and Commissioner Bud Selig presenting them with baseball’s Beacon Awards.

Frank Robinson, who was the major leagues’ first black manager, will throw out the first pitch Saturday night. Another former Reds star and Hall of Famer, Tony Perez, and Robertson will participate in a round-table discussion Friday at the Freedom Center.

Current Reds Brandon Phillips and Jerry Hairston Jr. and former All-Stars Eric Davis and Harold Reynolds will take part Saturday afternoon in baseball demonstrations and activities called “Wanna Play?,” MLB’s latest initiative to revitalize black participation that had been on the decline over the past two decades.

That’s Bill Cosby, not Bobby Crosby, who’s being honored.
