Goose Gossage: “In my day we kept the japs in internment camps and the Cubans on their commie island where they can all lollygag around, smiling and pretend to play real baseball. We throw good old fashion fastballs here in america. None of this fruity off speed stuff. And if you think otherwise or you’re a minority…

I read economic historian Eun Mee Kim’s Big Business, Strong State: Collusion and Conflict in South Korean Developments, 1960-1990 back in grad school.
