In Houston
tonight, the Astros will be hosting baseball’s annual Civil Rights Game; there
will be all sorts of ceremonies and honors bestowed. Meanwhile, the NCAA Division I Women’s College
World Series is being played in Oklahoma City.
Is it me, or are
people failing to connect the dots here?
Why is the issue of civil rights always treated in the past tense for
baseball, and what’s behind the claim softball is “just as good as”
baseball? The new Negro Leagues come
with a 12-inch ball, if only critics cared to notice.
