Sometimes a rush to "size people up" results in missed opportunities to create friendships. I work part-time as an usher for the Royals and spend games around hundreds of people. Some look different than others, but almost all share a love for baseball and our hometown team. We connect at that level and let the friendships develop or not develop from there.

Well, this ought to put to rest all those complaints that Strat is totally unresponsive to its customers that you can find here and across various gaming websites.

Yes or No?

All I can say is several years ago I was seriously accused of racism for posting "Negro Leaguers just as good or better"?

I made a case that the top players were certainly as good as the white players back in the day but it was very equal. I had did a lot of study on Barnstorming games and so forth. To me its like is Mays better or Mantle? Gibson or Seaver? It is a wash in my book.

But because I would not say the Negro Leaguers such as Josh Gibson, Smokey Joe and Paige were better then Ruth, Johnson, Mathewson I was seriously branded a racist. I even pointed out Johnson's 36-7 season and said there was doubt it could have been topped but possibly matched.

And I finally had to get off the boards as if I had said "all lives matter"! It was incredible especially since we had at that time over 60 years of data of the two races playing together with the top stars being very equal.

Sorry, but I have wanted to get that off my chest for about 8 years

Race is imaginary, there is only one race, the human race.

I can not begin to know the heart or intent of the man who named his team KKK but at the very least it is pretty obnoxious.

Side note: If all lives matter why don't we have universal health care for all the way EVERY other civilized nation in the world does?

Obviously the players in MLB, just as the players in the Negro Leagues never had to face the best competition. Sorry 'bout their luck but no player who played before integration can be called the greatest by any serious person.

I would ask the manager in question what KKK stands for (in his case), and he better have a good answer!
