Chicago HBCU Baseball Classic Set For This Spring
Earnest Horton started playing little league baseball at Tuley Park. While he was always good at football and basketball, he gravitated more toward baseball. He likes to say that baseball naturally landed in his hand. He played baseball at Hyde Park Career Academy High School and even got a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Arkansas Pine Bluff, where he played for four years.
