As part of Converge Media’s ever-expanding mission to uplift underrepresented communities, producer Mathew Bermudez took Back2Besa to a new frontier last year: Anchorage, Alaska. The Gamers Alaska program, led by founder Jamar Hill, celebrated the grand opening of a new indoor baseball and softball facility in Northeast Anchorage, offering the next generation of players a beacon of warmth and hope through the long Alaskan winters.

The Steelheads are Back! - As the Seattle Mariners embark on their 50th Season, we are proud to help tell a story that was written in these streets long before the first pitch was thrown in a stadium. The rhythm of baseball in the Pacific Northwest didn’t begin with a modern franchise—it was forged in the dust of the sandlots and the roar of a community claiming its rightful place in the sun.

As a part of Converge Media’s upcoming documentary about the Mariners Care Foundation “Diamond Of Opportunity,” videographer and producer Mat Bermudez traveled to Anchorage, Alaska, to document the grand opening of a new indoor baseball and softball facility. The story he captured quickly evolved beyond a typical sports feature, becoming an emotional and enlightening account of community revitalization, accessibility, and representation for young athletes.

As we close out a joyous 2025, we are ecstatic to share the first look at our upcoming documentary “Diamond of Opportunity” following the Mariners Care Foundation, premiering Spring 2026 on FOX13 Seattle. From Jacksonville, Mississippi to Anchorage, Alaska, to home plate in the Emerald City, the Mariners have committed to making baseball and softball more accessible, more visible, and more inspirational to underrepresented youth who lack reliable resources to play the game they love.
