Racism in baseball is worse than any other pro sport.
Look at Sammy when his bat shattered and they found cork in it.
Or some of the things Pedro has said.
Or Dusty Baker a season or 2 back "blacks have a hard time playing day games" or something like that.
Even Hank Aaron and Frankie Robinson say racist things and noone ever says anything.
To me when these guys start claiming racism or talking how things don't go their way and it's all whitey's fault, shows me their arrogance and a reverse racism that fuels fires.
Say what you will about Jr. but I've never heard of Kenny G saying that his decline is caused by working in a racist Cincy (which some footballers have done to the Bengals).
Jr knows it ain't about race it's about hitting a ball and playing a kid's game for millions and millions of dollars.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
