Yea, some of those fellas sound like cavemen but I was pretty surprised by how outright accepting some ballplayers were (Lopes, for instance). This is a touching and somber reflection on civil rights and baseball. "42", with all it's over the top cheese, would have been wise to take notes.

you seriously are the best troll i've ever encountered... this type of pissing contest was the last thing i wanted to engage in. thought maybe people would have an interesting take on the insanity of using a scene so fundamentally opposed to celebrity dress up parties as inspiration for a celebrity dress up party. but…
