Everything...Chris, you don't understand though. Everything in baseball's past was good, except for the whole racism thing of course. Jerry think it's understood that everything in the past was best, except for those things everyone thinks were bad. Of course racism was bad, but baseball isn't the same for every reason except that one. <br /><br />He's been a writer for a while now and covered every Super Bowl. I can't imagine he has an idea of what "the common man" thinks. <br /><br />Slag, you obviously are not the common man then if you can afford baseballs and two gloves. The common man is being shut out!Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-74211595720941462822015-04-02T18:17:11.859-04:002015-04-02T18:17:11.859-04:00The last I checked, there were parks with kids pla...The last I checked, there were parks with kids playing baseball--not necessarily Little League and having a good time.<br /><br />I just bought my son a baseball mitt and we went out and played catch. It wasn't expensive...2 gloves and 5 balls for under 30.00. People spend more on video games than this. He is setting a strawman argument and hope no one notices.Slag-Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675587994618760072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-68302214639795593832015-04-02T13:35:25.736-04:002015-04-02T13:35:25.736-04:00Also since Jerry Green is a sportswriter and I ima...Also since Jerry Green is a sportswriter and I imagine a reasonably well paid one at that, when in the hell was the last time he could ever consider himself 'the common man"?Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-21318887700753946072015-04-02T13:31:06.374-04:002015-04-02T13:31:06.374-04:00Along your line of unintentional racism, I'm g...Along your line of unintentional racism, I'm glad Jerry mentioned Jackie Robinson's name because if we went back to the good old days, then Jackie Robinson would not have been allowed into MLB because of the color of his skin. Ahh we finally returned to when times were simpler in baseball and minorities were kept seperate in their own leagues and countries instead of invading pure MLB. <br /><br />I should say I'm not accusing Jerry Green of being a racist but any argument can be twisted and it certainly was in the past to exclude colored players, which Jerry conveniently wants to ignore.
