The second episode of “Undeniable -- Stories from the Negro Leagues” debuted Wednesday, and it focuses on the influence Negro Leagues players had in fostering a love for baseball around the world.

"Undeniable," MLB’s first animated series, tells unique short stories from the historic era of the Negro Leagues. Narrated by Negro Leagues Baseball Museum president Bob Kendrick, this MLB Original Series is just one of several initiatives by Major League Baseball to celebrate Black History Month.

The second installment of this three-episode series highlights how Negro Leagues stars inspired young ballplayers from Caribbean nations and helped popularize the game in Japan. The episode also covers the accomplishments of two famous Latino players who found an opportunity to play in the U.S. thanks to the Negro Leagues: Baseball Hall of Famers Cristóbal Torriente and Martín Dihigo.

The first part of the series was released on Feb. 1 and details the legendary careers of three women -- Toni Stone, Connie Morgan and Mamie “Peanut” Johnson -- who played professional baseball. The third episode, set for release on Feb. 15, centers around groundbreaking ballplayers Jackie Robinson and Monte Irvin.

"Undeniable” can be found at MLB.com/originals, MLB.TV and the MLB app.

The series is a collaborative project between Major League Baseball, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and the Black-owned creative entities Invisible Collective and Martian Blueberry. It is co-directed by Justin Polk and Carl Jones (“The Boondocks,” “Black Dynamite”). Polk, the founder of Invisible Collective, creative-directed the series and partnered with Jones and his animation studio, Martian Blueberry, whose animation expertise brings each story to life.
