I read the article....no names mentioned but Spanarican’s....glad I shat on baseball after the ‘86 strike....screw the Spanaricans of summer...for good.
Whether you choose to watch or not watch baseball is a personal issue, and I won’t discuss it. But of all the games played in the US, baseball is the one game where race is rarely if ever an issue, and hasn’t been for at least 50 years. On the MLB diamond, men of every race and color can be found, and the way they get there is not because of privilege but because of merit. There are bullies in the game, but it is not because of their race, but because of their lack of integrity, and everyone know who they are.
If you want thugs, you go to football and basketball; if you want whiteness, you go to hockey. If you want what America is supposed to be, a land where people from the whole world come to be their best, you go to baseball.
P.S. And I’m madder than hell that Kevin Cash pulled Cedeno for Geltz to pitch to Valencia in the top of the ninth when he knew that Geltz throws fat pitches, and all the work of Moore and Guyer and Longoria and Miller and (Asian) Conger and (black) Beckham and Souza went for naught. But I’m proud of what my team is made of, men who want to play the game and work every day to give it their best, even if their best right now isn’t better than 4th place. If Trump does half of what he says, America will be like baseball again.
