MLB has been pushing this “Hispanic Heritage” crap on us for several years now. The Pirates also had a Spanish jersey which read “Piratas”. I recall once a player wore one by accident during a non-Hispanic Heritage game. The umpire caught him in the 3rd. inning and set him off to change.
Superior.
Ask any grocery clerk in San Antonio just trying to get along and earn a little money for school.
I’m curious now, I’ll ask around and see if it’s anything like what the pathetic NFL is doing with their Mexicano
month bullcrap.
GO HAWKS :)
My Reds blew it again yesterday.
But let me say this, I despise this current playoff system.
There’s no way that a 3rd place team should be in the playoffs. And that’s merely 3rd place in their division, for, if going by winning percentage, they were 5th place in the league.
I grew up in the sixties, and in those stellar years of baseball, you either won the league or you didn’t.
That’s why the season was so important.
If being 3rd best in a 5 team division is good, then what do we call 3rd worst in a 5 team division?
So we can start calling the Redskins “Pieles Rojas”?
I’d refuse to wear the Spanish uniforms. Notice that the Yankees don’t do it. (They didn’t make the playoffs this year, but have 40 pennants and 27 World Championships. They’re doing something right.)
No hablo Espanol — by choice.
I don’t mind much. The El Tigres play a game once per year and I also love the negro league uniforms.
Tigers dropped their last 3 games too.
Maybe the San Diego Padres could become the Saint James Fathers for a day?
Arrrrrrr!
If you’re a Pirate fan, and old, you don’t use an Indian curse, you use the Green Weenie.
PS: When do we get a Gaelic Heritage Month? Or is that supposed to be covered by Halloween (aka Samhain) and/or St. Paddy's Day?
Los Chokos
Hell to the yeah. Good job.
