Open Gameday Thread, 3/10
This one's actually a must-lose for the Giants, as they don't want the rest of the baseball world to know just how great of a team they are. If they go something like 23-2 in the Cactus League, everyone will be gunning for them in the regular season. Better to lose a few and sneak up on them.

Mays’ respect for Ali, and his joy at being in Ali’s presence are both evident. I love the gentle way Willie sets Ali’s hand back down on the armrest. Or the way he laughs and defers when it is suggested to Willie that his fist is bigger than Ali’s.

Torii Hunter is a very good baseball player but not very wise when it comes to why organizations sign players. Torii, brothers do not play baseball cuz they do not want to.
But what he was getting at (I think, he wasn’t very eloquent) is what can MLB do to increase interest in baseball among “brothers” and American kids in general.
We're all basically Pedro Feliz.
what is MLB they doing to increase interest in baseball among the white boys, latinos, asians, euros etc? Are you going to demand they play baseball? Shackle them and enslave them?
MLB has RBI program. After years the games became integrated. What happened to freedom of choice?
The only impostor is Hunter.
I will always remember a statement from Roberto Clemente, it went something like this:
I have two strikes against me. I am black AND Latino
The poster stuff is pretty much nonsense. The rest of it, though, I dunno. It’s really hard to play a pickup game these days, unless you’re a kid going to a pretty well-off school.

In 2009 through 9 Games they were 4-5
