Thanks for posting this Don. I turned on 670 on the way to lunch and heard Goff and Speigs say something about B.Norris, but all I could make out was... Bud Norris , non-african american brother when I was a kid..... my moms : I just don't understand where bud is coming from .... Goff really needs to lay off the weed. Nothing is this funny.

Do you have a list?

I drafted Norris in every league for what seemed like a decade because I thought he would be a stud.

In thst study did they count McCann as an Irish immigrant or something?

He and Papelbon are in like 90% of brewhahas or melees

Norris had a case? Sounded like an opinion.

Moving past a horrible attempt to argue semantics of a word used properly .... listen to the fella that was just on. It clears up the whole case/discussion/issue/topic now and forever in about 10 minutes' time.

he said the first latino player in MLB showed up in 1887 or something and they wrote about his "flashy cuban ways" or something, denoting that it's a cultural thing that has technically been a part of baseball going all the way back to 1887 or whatever.

Seems to me he has a point here. You hear about hitters getting shit for this way more than pitchers.

that guy is a writer/humorist who had a cup of coffee in the majors and now considers himself the moral arbiter of everything that is wrong with baseball.

He's got a couple of valid points the most pertinent of which is the poor(ish) relations between American and Latin players. Not surprising if you know human nature. They can't even speak the same language. The fact that a company can bring a foreign person over here to work for years and not provide extensive language training is crazy.

However, the fact is that baseball's archaic racist unwritten rules have resulted in an astonishing level of player safety that boggles the mind considering the thousands of players and millions of pitches thrown. Only ONE guy killed (like 80 years ago) and a handful seriously hurt.

I will do my best not to kill you as long as you don't act like a buffoon when I fail which may fray my fragile ego at best and highlight my ineptitude at worst.

It's not that hard. I'm sure you can resist doing jumping jacks for 20 seconds until you get back to the dugout.

I get where both sides are coming from. I'm fine with Norris' opinion as long as he doesn't go into McCann territory. I prefer the wacky antics and emotion though. Makes the game more fun for me.
