The most racist baseball player of all time.

Is there any aspect of our culture and lives that havn't been severely degraded or ruined by the insane obsession with diversity?

San Francisco has for many years been openly anti-black. Another player that got into that when the team moved from New York to Frisco was Willie Mays.

In 1957, baseball legend Willie Mays faced racial discrimination when trying to buy a home in San Francisco’s Sherwood Forest neighborhood, highlighting deep-seated housing inequality. Despite his fame, neighbors opposed his residency, prompting Mayor George Christopher to intervene.

After trying to purchase a $37,500 home in the upscale, all-white Sherwood Forest neighborhood, the seller initially rejected Mays’ offer due to neighborhood pressure. And after the sale was all done neighbors started throwing bricks through their windows in 1959. After living there for about a year and a half, the couple moved back to New York City and only rented homes in San Francisco during the season.

Bonds received threats while in pursuit of Ruth’s records. He also didn’t live in the city and owned a home in San Mateo County around 50 miles from the city.
