My current rant about baseball

"Because Babe Ruth is one of the greatest baseball players ever, and Babe Ruth ain't black, either," he said. "I'm black. Blacks, we go through a little more. ... I'm not a racist though, but I live in the real world. I'm fine with that."

No, Barry, see you are a racist. The fact that you would even bring race into this either proves that

you’re a racist or so nervous that you found something to say that will take attention away from you (didn’t work either). See, there’s this other thing it’s called history. You, Barry Bonds, are not the first black man to go up against Babe Ruth’s record. Remember Hank Aaron? The all-time homerun champ? Yeah. He’s black and he destroyed Babe Ruth’s record. And sports writers, fans, everyone is and will forever be excited about that. He did it with a humble flare that made everyone love him. He was a respectable player who beat Ruth’s record by a lot, and should always be remembered as such. You don’t hold a bat to him. As well, you won’t be the first black man to do something amazing either. Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Frank Robinson; they were just a few of the amazing athletes who broke records and just so happened to be black. They went through a lot in their careers, in their lives that warrant every sports fan to regard them as great. You’re a baby. What Aaron went through was “a lot more” than anyone would ever have to go through. Death threats? That was his life. I could only imagine how relieved Aaron would have been if his only issue was that the media pegged him as a cheater for using steroids.

You will never be regarded as that type of player because you’re a jerk. A jerk who cheated playing

baseball, a game you claim to love so much. You cheated, and you should be penalized for it. Frankly, I don’t think you deserve to be in the record books for anything, but I’ll be happy with an asterisk; because, you’re the jerk who cheated.

P.S. - Just saw this. Sometimes I actually agree with Jayson Stark about baseball matters, never about the spelling of his name.
