Jazz Chisholm Jr. Expands His Little League Legacy

We saw the 30-30 season, the All-Star appearance, the playoff heroics—now we get to see Jazz Chisholm Jr. in his element, using his resources to give back to the future of Bahamian baseball.

Chisholm’s foundation opened play in year three of its Little League yesterday, and participants took to both the Baillou Hills Sports Complex and the Andre Rodgers National Stadium for opening day.

Launched in September 2023 with just under 200 players, the league has continued to grow and thrive to over 350 players.

Chisholm’s foundation hosts events in New York and Florida, but having the Little League in The Bahamas is a project that remains a top priority.
