Interesting conversation today about Branch Rickey being the first white guy to let a Negro play in the Major's. At least he took a call to let someone counterpoint.
That sucking sound you hear is North's career heading South!

Once again, Mike makes an issue involving race.
I loved how he tried to compare the persucutions of both Robinson and Rickey. Then his outrage for leaving the Rickeys out of the celebration, even though North didn't state that had proof about their exclusion.
There are no grays with this guy -- black or white.
