Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical.
See, let a black man in and he starts stealing…

Berra’s tag was awful. He could have gotten him, but he puts his glove down slow enough for Robinson to get in.
Used to love watching Ricky Henderson steal bases. Back when I still watched baseball, before I got fed up with all the strikes and lockouts.
His toe touched the plate before his shoe was tagged. SAFE!
How that ump was able to see that amazes me.
I’d be upset if I was a Yankee’s fan.
Not only did he steal home but he was released with no bail!
The lyrics in “Centerfield” by John Foggerty, “Rounding third, and headed for home, it’s a brown-eyed handsome man.” It was Jackie Robinson he was referring to. That line was actually created by Chuck Berry, though. Fogerty used it in his song.
I’d rather see Nolan Ryan beating the crap out of Robin Ventura.
