Wait I'm confused has Dak went to a championship game? Was he MVP anywhere besides the bank? Dakota won 2 playoff games in 8 seasons.


DAK WISHES.

My Great Grandmother (born in 1892 and she was a Philadelphia Phillies fan, lived there also) and my Father hated the Yankees:


The racist incident that shook baseball nine years before integration

On a midsummer day at Chicago’s Comiskey Park in 1938, a WGN Radio reporter asked an innocuous question to New York Yankees outfielder Jake Powell in a pregame interview: What did he do in the offseason?

The stunners. The cheers. The home runs, hat tricks and gameday magic. Don’t miss out with The Sports Moment, a newsletter for the biggest sports news.

The 30-year-old replied that he worked as a police officer in Dayton, Ohio, where he stayed in shape by cracking Black people over the head with his nightstick, using the n-word. WGN immediately terminated the interview and issued several apologies that night, but the outrage quickly spread beyond Chicago. Powell’s crude, racist comment led to a national backlash among African Americans that put the game on its back foot on race nearly a decade before baseball finally integrated.

The medium of radio helped escalate the controversy, said Chris Lamb, professor of journalism at IUPUI and author of “Conspiracy of Silence: Sportswriters and the Long Campaign to Desegregate Baseball.” The book includes a chapter on “L’Affaire Jake Powell,” as the episode was called at the time.

:eek2:

It’s still fuck bob costas for his commentary on the braves vs Yankees World Series in 96.. it was clear as day he had some favoritism towards the Yankees during those 6 games.. his yankee dickriding was sickening... a One sided point of view that clearly wanted to see a particular winner.. it’s been fuck him ever since.. I don’t know what was worse hearing him doing that series or watching bitch ass Troy aikman doing commentary for the giants in which he clearly doesn’t like.. it’s fuck bob costas and fuck aikman

That is horrible.

Sadly almost EVERY ONE of the original franchises share this damning history

Every single one.

And worse.
