"In tw o thousand years three things w ill endure that are uniquely American the Constitution, Jazz and Baseball ‘ Sports w rite r Roger Angell pointed out, "If you keep getting h its the game can go on forever ’ There is no clock in Baseball It used to be that a game would be called on account of darkness, then came the lights, or because of ram. then came the domed stadiums, and now it is called because of greed and lust for power Yes, we believe that baseball has a lot to teach us about ourselves In 1947 Baseball was the fir s t major league sport to be integrated, and in 19S2 Baseball form ally forbad women from playing Major or Minor League Professional Baseball We think that the same thing that is threatening Baseball is threatening our environment, and our form of government, greed, stupidity and lust for power CO6BICU0 7OOPAC4C MACH IM S COWCIIDKWPAC»«.
